Correspondence Research as a Primary Source in the History of Education

The Educational Policy and National Education Role of the Magyar Szemle in the Context of Sándor Imre’s Correspondence between the Two World Wars

Summary/Abstract: The object of our qualitative research was provided by the discovery of primary sources in the manuscript archives of the National Széchényi Library, and our interest turned with natural curiosity towards the person of Sándor Imre and the cultural milieu surrounding him. In our opinion, the interdisciplinary historical investigation enriches both the history of education and cultural history with many new results, while also nuancing our literary history. Katalin Kéri highlights the name of Sándor Imre as a significant thinker in the history of Hungarian intellectual history between the two world wars, whose true knowledge and understanding has not yet been achieved in a wider circle. Sándor Imre’s theoretical activities are also important to discuss because as a practising, leading teacher he influenced the education of the first half of the 20th century, and as a politician of education his views on educational policy are relevant as well. The micro-historical focus of the case study I am presenting is on Sándor Imre’s letters to the Magyar Szemle Society.
