Summary/Abstract: The paper is based on the almost complete survey of the legacy of the journalist and historian Béla Menczer, born in 1902, living in emigration since 1920. He is one of the lesser known fi gures of Hungarian conservative tradition. The fundamental ideas of his thinking are outlined, and on this basis, analy sing his oeuvre, a proposal is made here on how to reconstruct and explore the Hungarian conservative tradition. It is argued that this tradition should be understood less in terms of authors and more in terms of texts written in genres of a wide range.
