Imprisoned for a time after failure of Revolutionary Government. Emigrated to Czechoslovakia with first wife in 1920, then settled in Vienna for two years, where he became staff member of Bécsi Magyar Újság and Panoráma. In 1923 he went to Bavaria and then to Paris, where he held various jobs, including that of stamp dealer. Lost all funds at roulette in Monte Carlo and went to Perugia with help of friends. Returned to Budapest in 1926. Helped to edit Dokumentum with Lajos Kassák (q.v.), Gyula Illyés (q.v.), Andor Németh, and József Nádass December 1926-May 1927. Unable to publish his own writings, he lived on earnings from translations of English, French, German, and Italian authors. Visited southern Italy, Scandinavia, and Transylvania in 1931, and settled in Berlin, where he worked as journalist until fall of 1932. Returned to Hungary, then went to Dubrovnik, where he wrote Szemtől szembe. Moved to Vienna in 1933, where he began to write Befejezetlen mondat. Participation in February 1934 workers' uprising forced departure from Vienna. Traveled through Hungary on way to Spain, where he remained for year, then returned to Budapest.

Opposed government in Revolution of 1956 and sentenced to prison for nine years at beginning of 1957. Released on April 1, 1961, and cleared of all charges and consequences in 1962. ¶ His prose fiction is more important than his poetry and dramas. Much use of autobiographical materials. Greatly influenced by surrealism in earlier writings. Development shows transition to realism without surrender of individual viewpoint. Developed prose fiction toward patterns of European fiction by breaking with traditional methods of Mikszáth and Tersánszky (qq.v.), using form of narration more like that of parable than of anecdote. Much concerned with giving expression to transformations occurring in contemporary Hungarian society. Deeply humanistic in outlook. ¶ A befejezetlen mondat and volume one of Felelet have been translated into German; Niki into Danish, Dutch, English, Finnish, French, German, Italian, Norwegian, Polish, and Swedish; and a volume of his short stories is available in Dutch, French, German, and Portuguese.

DSIDA JENŐ

Born May 17, 1907 in Szatmár; died June 7, 1938 in Kolozsvár, Transylvania. Poet. Poems appeared in Cimbora while a child and in Ellenzék when 19. Completed law studies at University of Kolozsvár. Moved to Kolozsvár and was editorial staff member of Keleti Újság and Pásztortűz until death caused by heart disease. Visited Italy. ¶ His poetry extended traditions of the Nyugat School into the period between two World Wars. Strongly humanistic in outlook. Pessimistic in tone, and his poems dealing with the state of mind prior to death are considered to be among the most detailed and direct of such confrontations. He was one of the most skillful poets in varied use of verse techniques during the period. His translations and interpretations of Chinese, Latin, Rumanian, and German poets are important. ¶ Some of his poems have been translated into French, German, and Italian.

CRITICISM

839. Rónay György. "Dsida Jenő;" Dsida Jenő: Válogatott versek. Rónay György bevezető tanulmányával. Budapest: Révai, 1944; 119p. Pp. 5-13.

An analysis of his poetry finding sadness basic in his first and the playfulness of neo-rococo forms and a deepening of thought in his second work. Maintains that he was the only Transylvanian writer who created his surrealism without predecessors and influences, that Angyalok citeráján turned to lyrical realism by bringing "wonder" into everyday matters, and that the broader forms of the narrative lyric poem appeared in his poetry. NNC GyBH

840. Lengyel Balázs. "Dsida Jenő," A mai magyar líra. Budapest: Officina, 1948; 116p. Pp. 97-100.

A study of his poetry maintaining that given his Transylvanian origins, his links with the Nyugat School and the poetic practices of Kosztolányi are probably the strongest in Hungarian literature; that he is the "predecessor of that angelicism mixed with the grotesque" to be found in the poetry of Sándor Weöres; and that his facility in use of forms is reminiscent of Csokonai's art.

841. Földes László. "Dsida Jenő költészete," Útunk, XI (1957), no. 38, 8-9; no. 39, 4-5; no. 40, 8-9; no. 41, 4-6.

A Marxist effort to settle the opposing views regarding his poetry prevailing among Transylvanian writers in 1956: those who saw him as a revolutionary and those who rejected his political lyric poetry. Concludes that his aesthetics is the product of Sándor Makkai's study of Ady (see no. 67), that he considers the poetry of Kosztolányi and Babits to be the new development, and that his poetic art arrives at impressionism but falls behind the ideals and subject matter of most of his contemporaries. Views him as one whose artistic skill never found its proper subject matter.

At 10 entered Sárospataki Kollégium. Learned French, German, and classical languages. Education interrupted by father's death in 1832, forcing him to tutor to provide means for return to school. Completed studies in 1835 and became tutor to Máriássy family in Berzéte. Already acquainted with many literary and political figures and widely recognized as writer through poems published in periodicals. Corresponding member of Academy in 1839, the year he moved to Pest. Married Nelli Vahot, who died barely a year after marriage; daughter died shortly thereafter. Obtained law certificate but lived exclusively on income from literary activites. Edited Regélő Pesti Divatlap 1842-1844 with János Garay (q.v.). Became member of Kisfaludy-Társaság in 1842, its secretary 1843-1850. Two extensive trips abroad: in 1841 (?) to Italy and in 1844-1845 to western and central Europe. Edited Magyar Szépirodalmi Szemle in 1847. Director of National Theater 1848-1849, during Revolution. In summer 1849 edited Respublica, of which only few numbers appeared. Fled to provinces after Revolution; returned to Pest in 1851. Became teacher at Sárospataki Kollégium in November 1851, first of philosophy and then, when appointed librarian in 1863, of literature. Founded and edited Sárospataki Füzetek 1857-1859 and 1864-1866. ¶ Influenced greatly by Hegel, later by positivism. First known as poet. Wrote three dramas but only Velencei hölgy was published; projected a world literary history, but completed only the section on ancient eastern literature. His major place in Hungarian literature is based on writings on aesthetics and a collection of folk poetry. Aesthetic sensitivity and command of philosophy make his literary and dramaturgical studies the most lasting of his writings. ¶ Some of his poems have been translated into English, French, German, and Hebrew.

States that he bestows cosmic significance on his every mood and observes experience through the culture of his people, and that his mythical world gives life an "unreal and often mystical cast" in which his "peasant common sense" and "true Hungarian wisdom" do not believe.

Finds him avoiding the experimentations of the poets of his times and writing in an individualistic way in the tradition of Hungarian folk poetry, characterizes his poetry as economical in imagination and classical in its expression, and claims that he is the "poet of remembrances recalling the wretchedness of life in vivid episodes."

943. Szegi Pál. "Erdélyi József," Nyugat, XXXI (July, 1938), 15-21.

His failure to follow the experimentations of other poets of his times, his choice of the purity and simplicity of folk poetry as his form of expression, his pessimism, and the characteristics of his poetry. MnU NN NNC [FiHI] FiHU GeLBM [GeLU] GyBH

Areview of the poems giving most attention to placing his poetry in the tradition of Hungarian folk poetry, to marking the point at which he introduced his own special qualities in the tradition, and to characterizing his style (especially his sentences and rhythms, language, use of recollection, themes). Comparisons with past and present poets throughout to describe his poetry. MH MnU [AsWN] GyBH

FALUDY GYÖRGY

Born 1913 in Budapest. Poet, translator, publicist. His free translation of Villon's ballads in 1937 created much controversy. Emigrated to France in 1939, from where he went to Africa in 1940 and to the United States in 1941. Returned to Hungary in 1946, where poems written during emigration were published the following year. Imprisoned in early 1950's and released in 1953. Again linked himself to literary life through publication of articles and poems. Defected in 1956 and went to London, where he became editor of Irodalmi Újság. ¶ His writings are deeply concerned with problems of contemporary Hungary.
