How did the French Enlightenment influence Hungarian literature?
However, from the middle of the18th century, the French Enlightenment spread widely in Hungary, so Hungary put forward the slogan of national rejuvenation, striving for the reform and use of Hungarian and the development of science and culture in the spirit of the Enlightenment. At that time, the language innovation movement led by the poet Kaontz ferenc (1759- 183 1) enriched the Hungarian literary language. The French Revolution (1789) written by Bacsanyi Ianos (1763-1845), the first Hungarian revolutionary poet, became a revolutionary song of patriots. The lyrical poet Joe Konay Vitez Mihai (1773- 1805) first drew his creative source from folk poetry. Fasekash Mikhail (1766- 1828) wrote a famous humorous narrative poem "Ma Ji the Goose Boy" (1804) according to folklore, describing a witty rural goose boy who took revenge on the arrogant landlord three times. The earliest Hungarian playwright, Kotona Iurov (179 1- 1830), wrote the famous tragedy Governor Bunker (182 1).
