"Gyulai Pál kritikai dolgozatainak újabb gyüjteménye, 1850-1904" by Pál Gyulai is a collection of literary criticism written in the mid-to-late 19th century and early 20th century. Bringing together reviews, essays, polemics, and brief editorial notes, the volume surveys Hungarian literature, theatre, language debates, and cultural life while modeling a strict, principled critical voice. It will appeal to readers interested in Hungarian literary history, the craft of criticism, and the era’s major figures
and controversies. The opening of the volume presents an editorial foreword outlining why and how this supplementary collection was assembled, its relation to earlier editions, its selection principles, and the contextual notes added for clarity. It then begins with 1850 pieces: a programmatic “Irodalmi élet” sets a mission of strict, conscientious reviewing that guides readers, resists patriotic leniency, and scrutinizes style and language; a long review of “Egy földönfutó hátrahagyott novellái” weighs a popular exile’s tales (praised for narrative ease and sparkling dialogue, faulted for surface charm and thin ideas). Subsequent entries assess Arany János’s range and forms—culminating in a thoughtful reading of “Keveháza” as a small epic with evocative, national diction—then critique Sujánszky Antal’s religious poems by contrasting modern piety’s weak forms with older, stronger church-song traditions. A lively Pentecost-day feuilleton follows, turning from city merrymaking toward theatre talk and the contemporary “Tamás bátya” (Uncle Tom) stage sensation, where tone and taste are probed with Gyulai’s characteristic irony.
