Szempontok Katona József Istvánjának vizsgálatához
Considerations for the Analysis of István by József Katona

Summary/Abstract: The study focuses on the elaboration of literary, cultural and cultural historical issues arising in connection with the 1813 drama of József Katona’s István. À Magyarok Első Királlya [István, The First King of the Hungarians]. Taking into account the theatrical and political-historical context of the origin of the work, the study places the play in Katona’s oeuvre. Following the exploration of the playwright’s historical studies, the history of the cult of St. Stephen (Szent István) and the history of the subject, the dissertation reads beyond Katona’s drama, which is realized along the attributes associated with St. Stephen and their symbolic meanings.
