Summary "Hungarian Literature: An Historical & Critical Survey" by Emil Reich is a scholarly examination of Hungarian literature written in the late 19th century. This work aims to provide an in-depth historical overview and critical analysis of the significant movements, prominent figures, and cultural developments within Hungarian literature. The author's intention is also to illuminate the unique traits of Hungarian literary expression within a broader European context, making it informative for readers unfamiliar with Magyar literary traditions. At the start of the survey, Reich emphasizes the lack of recognition of Hungary's rich literary history in the Anglophone world, despite the nation’s long-standing political and cultural significance in Europe. He discusses the historical context of the Magyars and their struggle to maintain cultural identity amid foreign influences. The opening chapters explore the early development of Hungarian literature, touching upon its oral traditions and the challenges posed by political upheavals and foreign domination. Additionally, Reich outlines the evolution of the Hungarian language, highlighting its distinctiveness and potential for literary creativity. Overall, the initial portion sets the stage for a comprehensive exploration of Hungary’s literary achievements and contributions, addressing both the challenges and triumphs of its writers through the ages.
