Andras Bodor and the history of classical studies in Transylvania
in the 20th century is the first comprehensive work focusing on the
life of a classicist from Transylvania, presenting in detail the
life and academic heritage of Andras Bodor (1915-1999). Based on
1348 newly identified letters, 209 photographs (including 25
portraits), Andras Bodor's complete bibliography and his
unpublished memoir from 1915-1959, the work offers also the first
publication of Bodor's academic correspondence (107 letters) and
also extracts from his unpublished journal. Based on a large number
of unpublished documents and the major works of Bodor, the book
tries to reconstruct the life and academic heritage of a classicist
from the periphery of Europe, a region that changed so many times
over the long course of the 20th century. Andras Bodor appears as a
student torn between theology and classical studies, a
Transylvanian Hungarian who ended up at Oxford, a lecturer at the
Hungarian University of Cluj, a researcher who had the idea of
establishing a new school of classics, marginalised and
compromising, a quiet teacher of the newly established Babes-Bolyai
University and also a senior professor engaged in education policy.
The personality and work of Bodor is presented through the short
history of classics in Transylvania, Romania, reflecting on the
European and global changes of the discipline.
