      abstract = {This book focuses on the most important utopian and  dystopian literary texts in nineteenth and  twentieth-century Hungarian literature, and therefore  widens the scope of the traditionally Anglophone canon.  Utopian studies is becoming increasingly interdisciplinary,  and this research integrates literary hermeneutics with  ideas and methods from political science and the history of  ideas. In doing so, it argues that Hungarian utopianism was  influenced by the regions (and Hungarian cultures) position  of permanent liminality between Western and Eastern  European patterns of power structures, social and political  order. After a thorough methodological introduction, some  early modern texts written in Hungary are discussed, while  the detailed analyses focus on nineteenth-century texts,  written by Bessenyei, Madach, and Jokai, whereas the  twentieth century is represented by Karinthy, Babits and  Szathmari. In the interpretations the results of  contemporary scholarship is applied, particularly the works  of Lyman Tower Sargent, Gregory Claeys and Fatima Vieira.  Zsolt Cziganyik is Associate Professor at Eotvos Lorand  University, Hungary. He has been a visiting professor at  Central European University, and a scholar at the Gerda  Henkel Foundation. His research focuses on the interaction  of politics and literature in modern and contemporary  prose, especially in utopian and dystopian literature.},
