Published by: Scientia Kiadó
Keywords: Sándor Reményik; canonization; János Babits; class-conscious internationalism;
Summary/Abstract: Sándor Reményik's poetry was subject of cult already in his lifetime and got to be rapidly canonized. His cult revived following the poet's sudden death in 1941. Babits's early study emphasized the ethical, collective values of his work. However, these values are not of aesthetical nature. After 1947 the poet was rejected vehemently by the so-called class-conscious internationalism. His works were republished after 1980 by religious publishers, and found his way back to general acceptance in the nineties. Nevertheless, his entire oeuvre hasn't been published so far.
