Owaimer Oliver: The Birth of the Poet the development of Petőfi memory Academic Publisher, 2025
The book examines how Sándor Petőfi could become one of the most defining forms of Hungarian memory, and how the multifaceted socio-cultural construct, known today as the Petőfi cult, was developed. Its starting point is that the poet's afterlife has become at least as important today as the literary oeuvre itself. Through the examination of the operation of history, art and the press, it presents the dynamic work of social memory in sub-areas in a systematic framework. He focuses primarily on the popular aspects of memory, showing how he became both a historical person, a hero of legends and a national symbol of the poetry lost without a trace in the battle between the White Church and Segesvár.
