The pure verbal energy characterizing Hungarian poetry may be regarded as one of the most striking components of Hungarian culture. More than 800 years ago, under the inspiration of classical and medieval Latin poetry, Hungarian poets began to craft a rich chain of poetic designs, much of it in response to the countrys cataclysmic history. With precision, depth, and great intensity, these verses give accounts of their authors vision of themselves as participants in history and their most personal experience in the world. Light within the Shade includes 135 of the most important Hungarian poems ranging from the fourteenth to the twentyfirst century. Organized in chronological order, the poems are followed by an essay by Ozsvth providing the historical, biographical, and cultural background of the poets and the poetry. The book concludes with Turners essay on the special thematic and literary qualities of Hungarian poetry, as well as notes on translation practices. This essential volume exposes Englishspeaking readers to Hungarian poetrys artistic achievement in history and culture, its evolutionary development as a tradition, and its significance within the context of world literature.
