Literature and society: Hungary at the millennium.

From: East European Quarterly | Date: December 22, 1996| Author: | Copyright information

A consideration of Hungarian literature during the turn-of-the-century period reveals Hungary before the First World War to have been a peaceful society with little nationalism and ethnic clashes. Anti-Semitism did, however, lurk in the background. The gentry and intelligentsia were more likely to appear as characters in this literature because writers emerged from these classes. There was some upward mobility in society. Literature does offer an added dimension to the study of social history.
