Description

In Quest of the Miracle Stag: The Poetry of Hungary – Volume 1 | English Anthology of Hungarian Poetry

Overview

In Quest of the Miracle Stag is a monumental anthology presenting nearly eight centuries of Hungarian poetry, spanning from 1230 to the present day. Edited by Adam Makkai, a linguistics professor at the University of Illinois, this volume offers an unparalleled English-language introduction to the rich literary heritage of Hungary.

The anthology is essential for comparative literature and European civilization courses, providing insightful notes, essays, and contextual information to help readers unfamiliar with Hungarian poetry appreciate its depth and diversity.

The collection is richly illustrated with 25 woodcuts by György Buday, adding a visual dimension to the poetic journey. The volume is divided into eight major sections, covering folk poetry, medieval works, Reformation-era poets, Kuruc poetry, Enlightenment writers, Romantics, classical-modern poets, and 20th-century classics.

The anthology concludes with the poem A szarvassá változott fiú kiáltozása a titkok kapujából by Ferenc Juhász, symbolically reconnecting to the miracle stag motif.

An 80-page scholarly essay by László Cs. Szabó provides a historical and literary overview of Hungarian poetry, accompanied by the original score of the Hungarian National Anthem (Himnusz) by Erkel and a brief treatise on Hungarian versification.

Over 600 poems are included, translated by 98 distinguished literary translators, some of which appear in multiple versions — for example, József Attila’s Születésnapomra is presented in four different translations.
