TWO SATIRICAL POEMS OF THE DIET POLITICIANS FROM THE EPISCOPAL ARCHIVES OF GYŐR

This paper analyses two satirical poems of unknown authorship which were created at the time of the 1832/36 Reform Age Diet. Their manuscripts can be found in the Episcopal Archives of Győr, while their printed versions were published in the periodical called Hazánk. The first poem praises the reformist minded politicians who were determined to work for the country and its progress, while it criticises the conservative ones who belonged mainly to the members of the Upper House. The second poem - which is a fragment in fact - is mocking the delegate of Sopron County: Pál Felsőbüki Nagy.

Although the author of the two poems is unknown, it can be suggested that he might have chosen anonymity in fear of a possible retribution. His political stance was liberal and he was learned and excellently versed in the history of the country and in the prosody.
