Abstract

Miklos Zrinyi the Elder and his great-grandson and namesake, the general, politician, poet and educated man of the world, are the topics of this work, not only as great names in Hungarian history but also as European figures of inestimable charisma. Numerous texts from the culture of the Old Reich bear witness to this? reports, poems, flyers, sermons, stories, novels - and also dramas such as Theodor Korner s tragedy. These proceedings of an international conference document the exact state of research and provide a wide-reaching reconstruction of the foundations, forms, stages and perspectives of this reputation, concentrating on accessing known and unknown works from German literature.
