Summary/Abstract: The conception of Zsigmond Kemény, the father of the Hungarian psychological novel, harmonizes with Ferenc Deák’s standpoint and Kossuth’s thoughts start out from the European and Hungarian realities. They all were very well aware of the fact – which had been obvious to all throughout the Reform Era (1825–1848) – that Hungary independently and without assistance would not be able to bring an embourgoisement to fruition. Kemény and Deák believed in the future of the Habsburg Empire, and tended to cast the nation’s lot with it.
