Balogh Tamás - Huizinga Noster - Filológiai tanulmányok J. Huizinga Hungarian recepciójáról

"Tamás Balogh's writings are mostly paired "Dutch-Hungarian" they appear in the book as a series of mental portraits - the reader can gain knowledge not only about Huizinga; the studies are also important parts of the literature on Antal Szerb, Gábor Halász, Károly Kerényi, László Passuth, László Cs. Szabó. Balogh not only examines the reception of the Dutch historian, but also sheds light on the political, literary, and historiographical connections of the history of the examined eras (largely the twenties, thirties, forties, to a lesser extent the Kádár era) by analyzing the contexts of the reception in microscopic detail. The volume is an important contribution to the understanding of the rather confusing intellectual processes of the period between the two world wars, burdened by the emergence of totalitarian ideologies, as well as to the clarification of numerous historical and scientific history ``myths'' and misunderstandings that have been fixed in the public consciousness and scientific opinion. volume examines with exemplary thoroughness through the Huizinga reception one of the most important literary, cultural and worldview movements of the twenties and thirties, the Hungarian versions of new humanism, whose prominent representatives can be mentioned such as - among others - Károly Kerényi, Thomas Mann, Antal Szerb, or himself Johan Huizinga. Since the aspirations of the new humanism have undergone multiple reinterpretations and distortions thanks to the rise of both far-right and far-left ideologies (essentially then and now), Tamás Balogh's book enables a better understanding of the aspirations of the new humanism and the dismantling of the ideological constructs related to it." ; (József Havasréti)
