Summary/Abstract: In the decades following the Compromise of 1867, first around the schools and later, after the formation of literary societies and associations also in the press, a kind of intellectuality developed which moulded and fashioned the self-knowledge and consciousness of the emerging and rising middle class in the spirit of national commitment at the moment of discovering the bonding with their environment. Alongside with them were founded all those scientific forums which intensively modelled the life of the community. These decades, rich in experience, witnessed the flourishing of Hungarian literature in all its genres. In poetry, in the verses of Matild Janda, Jolán Molnárné Radich, Emma Radványné Ruttkay and Alba Nevis (Ilona Unger) feminine sensibility emerged as delicate tints of lyric poetry and the echos of world vision and human relationships in the depths of the soul.
