A 19. századi magyar népköltési gyűjtemények és kanonizációjuk
19th Century’s Hungarian Folk-Poetry Collections and their Canonisation

Summary/Abstract: In her study Anna Szakál reviews the 19th century’s folk-poetry collections (which also included fairy tales). First of all, she seeks to answer the questions, whether these collections were subject to research? Were they properly examined? Or are they comparable? In the second part of the study the author demonstrates how the canon formed in the second half of the 19th century and grew stiff later on. She also explains how the canonization influenced the examination of these historical folklore texts.
