Tanúságtétel a történelemről. Reményik Sándor költészetéről
The paper presents the life and work of the outstanding Hungarian poet Sándor Reményik by analyzing two phases of his creative evolution. The volume of poems published under the title Végvári-versek [Poems from the Border Fortress]deals with the painful acquiescence of the Trianon Treaty by the Hungarian community. These poems had an awakening effect on Hungarian readers, even after the author itself distanced himself from the passionate rhetoric of this volume. Sándor Reményik`s ideological and creative path has changed immensely in the following two decades of his creative work: in this study we will examine two of his following volumes, the fi rst published in 1919, entitled Segítsetek! [Help me!] and the second published in 1940, entitled Egészen [Entirely], in the case of the latter, we will focus on one poem cycle: Korszerűtlen versek [Anachronistic poems]. The present paper aims to present the evolution how Sándor Reményik transforms from poet of hurt national feeling into poet of general human feeling.
