Hungarian Exiles and the Romanian National Movement: 1849-1867 by Bela Borsà Kalman explores the crucial role played by Hungarian exiles in the formation of the Romanian national movement during the mid-19th century. Set against the backdrop of the 1848 Revolutions, the book delves into the interactions between Hungarian political exiles, intellectuals, and the Romanian nationalist leaders, examining how these connections influenced the development of Romanian national identity and political structures.
The book focuses on the period between 1849 and 1867, when Hungary faced political repression following the failed revolution, leading to the emigration of many Hungarian intellectuals and revolutionaries. These exiles found refuge in Romania, where they played a significant role in shaping the Romanian national movement, contributing to the political, cultural, and intellectual currents that would later define the modern Romanian state.
Through a detailed study of the individuals involved, the cultural exchanges between the Hungarian and Romanian movements, and the political dynamics of the time, Hungarian Exiles and the Romanian National Movement provides valuable insights into the complex relationship between these two nations and the broader context of Central and Eastern European nationalism. This work is an essential resource for anyone studying Hungarian history, Romanian nationalism, and 19th-century European political movements.
