Chicago of the Balkans: Budapest in Hungarian Literature 1900-1939 (Legenda)

Summary

This is the first English-language study of competing metropolitan narratives in Hungarian literature that spans both the liberal late Habsburg and post-liberal, Christian-national eras. Works by writers from a wide variety of backgrounds are discussed, from Jewish satirists to icons of the radical Right, representatives of conservative national schools, and modernist, avant-garde and peasantist authors.
