At the end of the 19th century, the Hungarian literary world split into two opposing camps. On one side are conservative writers who beautify reality. They represent the official position, advocate trite empty talk, and occupy a leading position in literary activities. On the other side are literary groups that are opposed to the officialdom. They are concerned about social reform and demand the protection of individual rights and the development of poets. imagination. The more accomplished poet of this school is Vajda Janos (1827-1897). His lyric poems absorbed the artistic characteristics of Flesmarti and Petofi and formed his own unique style.
Realist writer Mikshat Kalman (1847-1910) used satire and humor in his novels to expose the ugliness of reality. His novel "The Story of Young Nosti and Thoth Mary" (1908) reflects the penetration of foreign capital and the process of domestic class differentiation; his novel "Strange Marriage" (1900) exposes the shamelessness and shamelessness of the upper class. Fallen. In the later period of Mikshat's creation, it can be seen that he was influenced by Jokay's romanticism but tried to overcome this influence. His realistic creative method was fully developed in the 1890s.
In 1908, the literary group "Western Society" appeared and formed the Western literary school, which marked the beginning of the revival phase of Hungarian literature. The works of the famous novelist Moritz Zigmund (1879-1942) of this genre reflect the poverty and backwardness of rural areas, showing the author's eagerness to change this situation. In his works such as "Seven Coins" (1908) and "A Full Meal" (1910), he proposed that only democracy and progress can change the backwardness of rural areas. His novels "Torch" (1917) and "Kinfolk" (1930) occupy an important position in Hungarian realist literature. Odi Andrey (1877-1919), a famous Western poet, believed that as long as Hungary could gain independence and democracy, it would be prosperous and strong. His poems such as "Toward the Revolution" (1913) and "Song of the Proletarian Sons" (1909) began to praise the working class and made certain contributions to Hungarian proletarian literature. Another poet of the same period, Babic Mihai (1883-1941), was a bourgeois aesthetic poet with conservative views. Kostolany Derge (1885-1935) was one of the Impressionist writers of this period, and his works have a strong color of decadence. The poems of Juhas Gyura (1883-1937) are sentimental.
