Worlds of Hungarian Writing: National Literature as Intercultural Exchange

Unknown Author

4.9/5 (11653 ratings)

Description:This collection of essays responds to the growing interest in Hungarian writers in the English-speaking world; addressing an international audience, it highlights intercultural contexts that have molded Hungarian literary culture since the nineteenth century to the present. The volume approaches intercultural exchange not as an external force shaping national culture, but rather, as the very substance of that culture. By mapping some of the ways in which the traditions and institutions of a modern national literary culture are produced by languages, cultures, and media external to its traditionally conceived boundaries, this book contributes to approaches to the writing of literary history that are not confined by national narratives. It therefore does not only offer English-language readers contexts for Hungarian writing, but also responds in innovative ways to questions of reception history and comparative literary and cultural study. The essays of the volume include discussions of the politics of reception and translation, the impact of emigre writers and critics, the role of intercultural exchange in genre-formation, the fate of western leftist critical theory in post-1989 Hungary, or the role of African-American models in contemporary Roma culture. The volume s chronological span is from the nineteenth century (with protagonists such as Jozsef Bajza or Janos Arany, as well as less canonical figures such as Theresa Pulszky), through the twentieth (with discussions, amongst others, of Antal Szerb or Gyorgy Lukacs) to contemporary writers such as Peter Esterhazy, Peter Nadas or Laszlo Krasznahorkai. Each essay is an original contribution to the scholarly discussion of Hungarian literature, but is intended to be accessible to readers, critics, and scholars unfamiliar with its traditions, as well as to those interested in reception and literary historiography."We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
