While the most significant authors of the early</div><div style="font-size:12.8px"> 20th century drew inspiration from Western European literary forms</div><div style="font-size:12.8px"> and preferred to distance their works from previous prose traditions,</div><div style="font-size:12.8px"> Krúdy’s fiction remained closely linked to those narrative forms</div><div style="font-size:12.8px"> inherent to 19th century Hungarian prose. His motive for continuing</div><div style="font-size:12.8px"> to use these narrative forms did not stem from a blind desire to follow</div><div style="font-size:12.8px"> tradition, but rather originated from a conscious effort to renew and</div><div style="font-size:12.8px"> reform the heritage bequeathed upon him by past authors. Thus, the</div><div style="font-size:12.8px"> strange dichotomy that characterizes Krúdy’s works forces readers to</div><div style="font-size:12.8px"> raise the following question: how is it that an author whose</div><div style="font-size:12.8px"> experiments in fiction proved far more innovative than anything else</div><div style="font-size:12.8px"> written by his generation still not be considered a modern author—</div><div style="font-size:12.8px"> even by the majority of his contemporaries? In Krúdy’s fiction, imitation is the process by which the past is evoked and narrative memory is created; his usage of imitation therefore embraces two characteristics that most define his oeuvre. It</div><div style="font-size:12.8px"> is for this reason that a collection of essays focusing on the correlation</div><div style="font-size:12.8px"> between memory and imitation in works by Gyula Krúdy seems not</div><div style="font-size:12.8px"> only appropriate, but also a meaningful way to introduce this unique author to readers less familiar with Hungarian literature.</div><div style="font-size:12.8px"><br></div><div style="font-size:12.8px">***</div><div style="font-size:12.8px"><br></div><div style="font-size:12.8px">A Jyväskyläi Egyetem Hungarológia Programjának Spectrum Hungarologicum című kiadványsorozatának 8. köteteként megjelent az első angol nyelvű Krúdy-tanulmánykötet.
