Taken together, the chapters in this book provide a coherent overview of representations of the Hungarian city in literature, theater, and cinema. This book will act as an important future reference work for scholars working on the 20th and 21st century Hungarian city. And it reminds scholars unfamiliar with Hungarian urban culture of the vast range of urban phenomena that remain underrepresented in academic literature in English.Lieven Ameel, Tampere University In conclusion, this volume fulfils the promise we are so tuned to see carried out; it does the work of positing Hungarian literary and artworks into a larger theoretical and cultural context. In general, it does even more: this volume, which is surely to become a work of reference in the field of spatial studies and Hungarian literary or cultural studies, shows how, contrary to political and economic differences, Hungary and Western Europe formed a unified whole in most parts of the 20th century. This book establishes this link between Hungary and the West as they developed parallelly in structures of modern urban and rural culture as well as its artistic representation. - Ágnes Harasztos, Freeside Europe Online Academic Journal, Issue 15, 2024, http://www.doi.org/10.51313/Freeside-2024-09 By all means, the eleven chapters in this volume offer a remarkable contribution to urban studies, inviting its readership to reflect on the intersections of national identity, memory, and the urban experience. In so doing, the book might generate further critical conversations about both personal and collective histories, as well as their implications for the present and the future, empowering readers to dive critically into the urban narratives that have influenced Central and Eastern European cultures. - David Szoke, Central European Cultures 4 (2):112-19. https://doi.org/10.47075/CEC.2024-2.07
