Borbély Szilárd és az életrajzi textualizáció

Absztrakt

The study undertakes a review of the development of the literary-historical portrait of Szilárd Borbély to date, its main assertions, and seeks to place his literary-historical methodology within the context of contemporary biographical trends that are sceptical of the creation of grand narratives. The study focuses on the author’s posthumous volume “Nyugszol a’ nyárfáknak lengő hívesében” – Tanulmányok Csokonairól [“You Rest in the Coolness of the Swaying Poplar Trees.” – Studies on Csokonai], which, despite its incompleteness, contains his main insights on biographical writing.
