The author began his talk by admitting that his taking to Krúdy had in fact been inspired by Márai. Therefore, in this public lecture, he tried to present that curious personality of the history of Hungarian literature with the help of Márai's essays and numerous remarks. Márai knew Krúdy's life and work quite closely and how much he was attracted to him was demonstrated by a number of facts. He kept an eye on the publication or re-publication of each of Krúdy's works and always wrote appreciative remarks on those occasions. The writer whose works Márai read the most frequently, apart from János Arany, was Krúdy, almost throughout his lifetime. If he was talking about the greatest figures of Hungarian and world literature, he never failed to list Krúdy among them. And he knew small, seemingly insignificant details about him, too. The author then went on to discuss the fact that Márai had characterised Krúdy as an ideal person and as an ideal writer. He emphasised Krúdy's representation of reality as verging on the mythical, and thought that it had been his most courageous achievement to remain an independent writer. He also pointed out how conscious Krúdy had been of his own talent. He especially stressed two features of Krúdy's style: its atmosphericity and its musicality.

The article employs aspects of narrative psychology to analyse literary rendering (im)possibilities to narrate one’s own lifetime story reliably. After a description of the narrative context of identity, it concerns with the questions of the life narrative (on the examples from Hungarian postmodern novels) dependent on acts of constructing, remembering, judging, or placing it into „bigger“ narratives of a family. The aim of the study is to point out that there is a close legitimate relation between the narrator and the narrative, and to explain the literary problem of the life narrative in relation with the postmodern resignation to the integrity of identity.

One of the obvious experiences of the past 150 years is that while the post-Enlightenment secularized society is breaking away, occasionally openly opposes the institution of conventional religious life, the themes and discourse of the modern and postmodern literature still preserve their attachments to Christian traditions. In the first part of the paper, the author describes the change from the end of the middle ages to the present that led to this state focusing on the development of the relation between theology and literature. Past the changes of horizons of modernity and post modernity, the characteristics of the oeuvre of several significant poets and writers of the 20th century are determined by religious approach and the use of religious motifs. János Pilinszky, considered to be one of the most significant poets of Hungarian literature after World War II, belongs to them. In the second part of the paper, the author examines the way how the religious experience of modern man is reflected in his poetry.

In our study we present the different interpretations of magic realism that have been outlined most prominently in Hungarian reception history in recent decades. As a starting point, Tamás Bényei’s perception, which is different from the well-known conceptualizations related to the Hispanic American cultural region and identity, is discussed. According to him, magic realism, apart from its connection to post-colonial literature, can be understood as a way of writing and as a rhetorical device. As opposed to this approach, the second perception, drawing on the international trends of understanding magic realism as cultural industry (Volek), and based on the investigation of the developmental processes of Hungarian prose, implies continuity between the anecdotal tradition of the 19th century and recent discourse-forming strategies (Papp). Highlighting the aspect of hybridity, the second interpretation, with its post-colonial theoretical background, predominantly examines literatures written in Hungarian beyond Hungary’s borders as well as other minority literatures (Papp).

The aim of the paper is to show the impact of transculturalism on the research conducted in the field of literary studies. The first part presents the history of the concept and lists the most important researchers associated with it, such as Wolfgang Welsch, considered the creator of the concept, and Arianna Dagnino, who is believed to be the most important contemporary researcher of the interconnections of transculturalism with literature. Dagnino is also the author of the definition of the so-called transcultural literature, which is discussed in the paper. The third and last part contains considerations about the place of the so-called transcultural writers in the literary canon. The context for these reflections is provided by three translingual authors of Hungarian origin: Agota Kristof, Edith Bruck and Tibor Fischer.

The article takes a historical approach to the phenomenon of Hungarian literature in Czechoslovakia and Slovakia. As a result of peace treaties ending the First World War not only new states, but also new literatures appeared on the map of Europe. Hungarian authors of the former Austria-Hungary started to write a completely new literature in a completely new state which required completely new terminology as well. This article tries to shed light on key factors that shaped this literature and the identity of its authors, as well as on issues that preoccupied literary scholars from the early years to the present days. Since the article was based on source texts in Hungarian language that are not accessible in other languages, it can be also considered as a short summary and overview of Hungarian literature written in Czechoslovakia and Slovakia and the space for introducing its most relevant literary scholars, literary historians, and their most important theoretical and historical works on this phenomenon and providing a starting point for further research.

Based on the analysis of the texts by the Hungarian writer Péter Esterházy Harmonia cælestis and A simple story comma a hundred pages − the fencing version (Jednoduchý príbeh čiarka sto strán − šermovacia verzia), the study reflects on the character/specifics/possibilities of the idea of postmodern historiography that the historical novel as a form of articulating the past contributes to the creation of collective memory. The first novel is understood as a text that elaborates cultural and communicative memory (J. Assmann), the second is approached from the perspective of narrative social psychology (J. László). Possible postmodern answers to the question are found in the structural choices of narratives based on historical material.

Anecdotal narration outlived the 19th century in Central Europe and its new forms lead to some of the definitive works of modern literature, as Hašek’s world renowned Švejk proves. Anecdotal narratives from the 19th century were governed by collective systems of values and thus did not conform to the more individual outlook of modernity. Thus separation from these collective outlooks seemed to be a requisite for the continuation of the anecdotal tradition. The emblematic figure of the 19th-century anecdotal narration in Hungary was Kálmán Mikszáth. The study examines the hidden narrative methods that allow the narrator, and the implied author to move away from the common opinions they seemingly uphold in Mikszáth’s works. The paper concludes that those of Mikszáth’s narrative that turn away, or simply keep a distance from the common opinion paved the way for the modernisation of anecdotal narrative forms in Hungarian literature.

This paper deals with the concept of minor literature, which is understood as a kind of provocation towards literary history, and investigates the unstable, “wobbly” position of Hungarian literature in Slovakia occupied in Hungarian and Slovak literary histories. The methodological basis of the article is formed by the phenomenon of transculturalism, which is capable of activating and generating meanings on various spaces, levels and layers of literature. The study discusses different levels of transculturalism through some authors and texts in Slovak Hungarian literature, along with transcultural authorial identity, transcultural meaning-making machinery of texts, transcultural practices of the social context, and transcultural directions and gaps in reception. The purpose of the paper is to classify some transcultural phenomena and to unravel their conceptual and interpretative levels.

The essay aims to examine the works of art of Central and Eastern European literatures that can be connected by the notion of grotesque. On the basis of their common semantic and morphologic characteristics these pieces of art are interpreted as a distinct literary trend. According to the author, the special role of literary grotesque results from the staggering psychological conditions that have been expressed by the structural unity of the tragic and comic elements with standing value. On the basis of the different semantic formations (points of junction), the author distinguishes seven types of grotesque that partly or completely cover the writings of the Polish Tadeusz Różewicz, Sławomir Mrożek, the Czech Václav Havel, Milan Kundera, Josef Škvorecký, Bohumil Hrabal, Vladimir Páral and the Hungarian István Örkény.

In this paper the author analyses the poetry of two Hungarian poetesses, Anna Lesznai and Anna Hajnal, from the perspective of myth as a means of feminine self-expression. Anna Lesznai (1885–1966) belonged to the first, while Anna Hajnal (1907–1977) belonged to the third generation of the journal Nyugat (1908–1941). The theoretical background relates to women’s studies, while, starting from myth as an energy reaching back to women’s own identity and lineage, also relies on the results of the French feminist school. In the works of Anna Lesznai and Anna Hajnal, the uncovering of the mythical layers of poetry is intertwined with the modes of expression of female identity. Lesznai’s typical alter ego, Melusine, who is not accepted back by nature, breaks from her partner as well as her children. Anna Hajnal melds together the Greek and Jewish traditions, making Greek deities a part of her own private mythology.
