Summary/Abstract: Based on the methodology of cult studies, the paper examines how András Sütő read the Kemény phenomenon and oeuvre, and how Zsigmond Kemény’s image developed within these works. Sütő not only sought to strengthen the local cult of the classic author, but also to strengthen Kemény’s position in the history of literature. The history of this endeavor is just as instructive from the point of view of cult studies as it is from the history of canon. The primary objective of the article is also to examine how the activity of Sütő shaped his own image, and what sort of intellectual roles it suggests.
