Abstract:

This study deals with the early poetry of Árpád Tőzsér. It examines the texts of The Grim Star (Mogorva csillag) and In Double Space (Kettős űrben) from a stylistic point of view, from a functional point of view as well as from a descriptive point of view. In Tőzsér’s early poetry, the relation between form and content in the first two volumes clearly implied the primacy of the existing set of forms and the use of known verse forms. The study therefore approaches the poems primarily from a formal point of view, the aesthetic analysis being secondary. At the same time, the study also points out the origins and sources of the later development of poetry. We have always kept the inner coherence of the oeuvre in mind, so the study also maps the later volumes and selections. Approaching the turning point in the relationship between form and content, we wanted to list the formal characteristics of the first two volumes alongside the hitherto largely aesthetic criticism. Together, they provide a fuller picture of the poetic practice of the 1950s and 1960s in Czechoslovakia, and of the dilemmas of the early years. The study also examines the oeuvre of representatives of Hungarian-language poetry of the 19th and 20th centuries, pointing to the rich crossreading possibilities of their distinct poetics.

Our profile

Partitúra is a Hungarian literary journal published in Slovakia twice a year. The first edition was issued in 2006. From 2007 to 2014 its publishers were the Faculty of Central European Studies at The Constantine the Philosopher University in Nitra in cooperation with Sambucus Literary Society. Since 2014 the Faculty of Central European Studies at the CPU in Nitra became the sole publisher.

The journal releases peer-reviewed scientific articles, literary studies and art reviews of both Hungarian as well as world literature. It is also a forum for essays on several other arts and intercultural relations. Furthermore, special attention is devoted to the Central European literature and literary studies; the magazine not only publishes the reviews of such studies, but also provides the arena for reflections about them. The journal aims to give an account of the contemporary Hungarian literature of the Hungarian minorities as well as to serve as a cluster for discourses.

As for the structure of the paper, it is usually divided into three main sections. The first part generally deals with the translation of an important foreign abstract literary study. It is followed by the heading of Scientific Studies and the Columns of Critical Analysis. Partitúra regularly publishes thematic abstracts by authors, genres, as well as a literary and artistic phenomenon in focus.
