„Győztes az, aki megírja, hogy győzött”. Az alternatív történelemírás három lehetősége Székely Csaba Az igazság gyertyái című kötetében
“The Victor Is He Who Tells the Story” Three Approaches to Alternative Historiography in Csaba Székely’s Collection of Stage Plays The Candles of Truth

Summary/Abstract: In Csaba Székely’s drama collection The Candles of Truth, three texts are included, each dealing with a Hungarian historical event. All three approach their subjects from new, distanced and critical perspectives. This study examines the three texts through three different aspects: in the case of Michael the Brave, it focuses on textual manifestations of historical self-reflection; in Mary’s Country, on female figures often left out of historical metanarratives; and in The Candles of Truth, on the relationship between history and identity. The aim of the review is to shed light on the unique and much-needed questions posed by Székely’s texts within the context of contemporary Hungarian drama literature.
