Notes About János Arany and His Followers

Summary/Abstract: Born 200 years ago, János Arany was both a folk poet and a national poet: he represented his original social milieu while also voicing the experiences and efforts of the entire Hungarian nation. As perhaps the most influential Hungarian representative of literary popularity, his influence left an ineffaceable mark not only on 19th-century cultural and nation strategy, but on the 20th-century representatives of the popular literary trend as well.
