The main aim of the work is to present emblematics in Hungary in
its European context, and to show the reciprocal influence between
that phenomenon and mainstream literature. The description of the
theoretical and historical development in Hungary is supplemented
by a series of case studies examining the effect of emblematics
upon various literary genres. The final chapter analyzes the link
between literary emblematics and the visual arts by looking at a
specific example. As in most European countries, emblematics in
Hungary is part of a complex labyrinth of literary modes of thought
and expression. A relative poverty of theoretical writing went hand
in hand with a considerable range of emblematic practice. The
emblem proved to be a transitional form between the period when
signs and motifs were regarded as having specific and fixed
meanings and the modern period when we have developed a different
and shifting concept of language and meaning. At the same time as
emblems began to penetrate the more popular levels of national
culture and literature, they also became more specialized.
Hungarian emblematics used, for the most part, existing pictorial
and textual combinations of pictures and texts. They employed the
emblem notably in genres and texts of the genus demonstrativum,
which referred to matters which were topical at the time.
