Egy elfeledett élet – kicsoda Adorjánné Weress Margit?
A Forgotten Life – Who Margit Adorjánné Weress Was?

Summary/Abstract: Although Margit Adorjánné Weress is an almost unknown personality of the interwar period, her figure is essential for any thorough research concerning the period’s cultural history. This statement is increasingly accurate in my case, given that my research focuses on the history of poetry recitation in Transylvania in the 1920s and ‘30s, and, in addition to being a Hungarian-German teacher, Margit Weress was also a well-known and respected performer of poetry. In my study I present her life, touching upon, in addition to her private and professional career, two very important persons in her life, namely Lajos Áprily and Sándor Reményik, who involved her even more in the intellectual life of her time and with whom she maintained an intimate friendship throughout her life. Their previously unprocessed correspondence and the memoirs of Margit Weress, unpublished as yet, have (or may have) a high cultural historical significance, which not only render her figure and the mentioned sources essential for my own research, but, in my view, are unavoidable for other researches dealing with this time period as well.
