Vardy, literary historian and critic, and Associate Professor of September, 1984 Humanities at Robert Morris College, has recently published a critical-analytical study of Karl Beck, a 19th century Austrian poet who was born in Baja, Hungary. Although he wrote in German, Beck often treated the typical Hungarian landscape, the puszta and its native inhabitants the betyars, herdsmen and gypsies. He often alluded to Hungarian themes even when he wrote about Germany and Austria, and his Jankó, the Hungarian Horse-herd, (Jankó, der Ungarische Rosshirt) is one of his best narrative poems. Dr. Vardy’s Hungarian-language volume which was published by the Hungarian Academy of Sciences in Budapest, is the first study that discusses and analyses both Karl Beck’s life and his poetic accomplishments in its entirety. Besides being the author of a volume about Nikolaus Lenau, another 19th century poet, Dr. Vardy has published numerous studies and articles, and is the co-editor of The Folk Arts of Hungary (1981), and Society in Change: Studies in Honor of Bela K. Király. (With Steven B. Vardy). Agnes H. Vardy has recently completed a contemporary romantic novel, Riviera Holiday, which takes place on the Italian Riviera, and its characters are Hungarians living in the West. She is presently working on her sescond novel. For more information, please write to: Dr. A.H. Vardy, 5740 Aylesboro Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA 15217.
