Studies - Lehel Vadon: Péter Egri' s Scholarly Achievements: His Bibliography

LEHEL VADON PÉTER EGRI'S SCHOLARLY ACHIEVEMENTS: HIS BIBLIOGRAPHY Péter Egri first and foremost was an Anglicist, Americanist, and a scholar of comparative literary and cultural studies. But he was much more than that. His wide range of knowledge, field of interests, and research covered diverse domains of literary scholarship: from English and American literature to Hungarian, German, Russian, Irish, French, Spanish and Norwegian literature, from Renaissance studies to modernism, from drama to short story, from painting to music; and an imposing portrait gallery of writers and artists: from Mark Twain to Hemingway, from O'Neill to Albee, from Fielding to Huxley, from Attila József to Sándor Weöres, from Ibsen to Synge, from Michelangelo to Constable, and from Britten to Cage. His scholarly oeuvre and career path was even and well-balanced, original and influential. He was a prolific and versatile writer, studies, essays, and reviews appeared from his pen regularly in major Hungarian and foreign periodicals. His sixteen books are cornerstones in English, American, and Hungarian literary culture and arts studied and widely cited both in Hungary and beyond our border. The publication of his complete bibliography is a mark of my thankfulness and respect for Professor Péter Egri. 39
