Béla Vikár’s Role in the Cultural Relations between Hungary and Finland

Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this study is to give an overview of the role of Béla Vikár in the Hungarian-Finnish relations. The study is divided into two: the first part examines the development of cultural relations between Hungary and Finland from the nineteenth century until 1937, when the first cultural agreement was signed between the two states. The second part focuses on Béla Vikár’s key role in promoting relations: as the translator of the Finnish epic, Kalevala, as editor of newspapers and cultural journals, and as founder of literary societies.
