THE TRIANON TREATY IN LITERATURE
THE TRIANON TREATY IN LITERATURE

Summary/Abstract: In the study we wish to outline the way in which the Trianon treaty (1920) penetrated the field of literature and the way the shifts it fostered shaped Romanian and Hungarian societies. We will try to capture the way in which major historical events, such as the Union of 1918 or the Treaty of Trianon was reflected in Romanian and Hungarian literatures. We will reflect on the way the collective mind resonates to major political changes and how these changes and events have polished and shaped mutual representations. If there is no so-called Trianon literature in Romanian literature, as there is in Hungarian literature, we will try to spot the reactions to this event in terms of Romanian Hungarian relations and in terms of reactions of Romanian intellectuals to the Transylvanian current.
