Tanulmányok by Dávid Angyal
Tanulmányok by Dávid Angyal is a collection of scholarly essays written in the early 20th century. It likely brings together literary criticism and historical-political studies, pairing close readings of classic texts with arguments about Hungarian constitutional and military questions. The focus ranges from Shakespeare’s non-dramatic poetry and its Hungarian reception to debates around Deák Ferenc and the Austro-Hungarian Compromise. The opening of the volume first examines Shakespeare’s “minor” poems—Venus and Adonis, Lucrece,
and especially the Sonnets—through the lens of Hungarian translations by Lőrinczi, Szász, and Győry, praising strengths, pinpointing mistranslations (notably in sonnet closing lines), and weighing the perennial biographical theories with a measured, anti-dogmatic stance. It argues that while convention shaped parts of the Sonnets, genuine feeling shines through, and it contrasts the narrative poems’ vivid sensuality with their structural limits, highlighting recurring moral sympathy for the defenseless. The next essay shifts to Deák Ferenc’s centenary and the “military question,” rebutting claims that Deák lacked international vision, defending the Compromise as aligning Hungarian and broader strategic needs, and explaining Deák’s rejection of a fully separate army. To support this, it surveys Hungarian military-legal history from the 16th to the 19th century to show that a wholly independent army has little precedent, while national elements (language, officers, honvéd) can coexist with shared command under the Pragmatic Sanction.
