Textual Traces in Arany’s Oeuvre on Júlia Szendrey’s Second Marriage

Summary/Abstract: The study attempts to discover the textual traces in Arany’s oeuvre of the poet’s opinions on Júlia Szendrey’s second marriage. Accordingly, not only the poem A honvéd özvegye (The soldier’s widow) should be taken into account for this purpose but certain other texts as well (Árva fiú [Orphan boy]; Az özvegy ember árvái [Widower’s orphans]; Perényi). The analysis of these texts and their status held in his work (whether published in full or left in fragment) can assist to describe Arany’s opinion after all – which due to lack of other sources is made difficult to reconstruct.
