Nyugat is Hungary's most renowned literary, cultural and social
magazine. It was published between 1908 and 1941, and directly
affected literary and cultural modernism in that country.
Contributors of Nyugat were part of the 'Great Generation' of
talented artists and intellectuals who developed their works under
the pressures of rapid political, social and cultural
transformation in Hungary, and in turn I call them Generation West.
My study conveys a story of Nyugat by focusing on three of its
authors and their key works during the Hungarian modernist turn,
namely Dezs Kosztolanyi, Margit Kaffka, and Antal Szerb. Their
lives and works depict and epitomize the experience of Hungarian
identity in which the notions of aestheticism, high culture and
scholasticism are expressed through the the themes of language,
nostalgia and commemoration. The book will appeal to specialists in
Central European and Hungarian Modernist Studies, and to
interdisciplinary scholars in literature, social and cultural
theory, and social history, as well as to larger audiences
interested in the fin-de-siecle Central European art, literary and
coffeehouse culture, and print media.
