Topic: Kurucs


  
 [No title]
The kuruc in eastern Slovakia subsequently have to retreat to Transylvania.
The diet reestablishes the function of palatine (Thököly’s brother-in-law becomes the new palatine), the kurucs are amnestied, old privileges of the gentry are renewed, the sales taxes are abolished (see 1672) and in return for these concessions the diet votes a general levy of nobles to fight in the anticipated Ottoman war.
After it has become known that Thököly is arrested, the kurucs of Košice capitulate on October 25, most of his followers make their peace with the emperor and the kururc movement starts to come apart.

 Lóránt Czigány: A History of Hungarian Literature / Endre Ady
His mood is often pensive; the coming war makes him notice strange signs or superstitions which are all omens, in his suggestive interpretation, of the fullness of time: the angel of destruction is about to descend to earth (‘Recollections of a Summer Night’, 1917).
Ady loved to put on masks, and it was probably the Romantic cult of Rákóczi and his kuruc soldiers which prompted him to write his own kuruc poems, as a defiantly differing interpretation of the theme.
While the official kuruc cult promoted the image of victorious soldiers clad in glittering uniform, Ady’s kurucs are the remnants of a beaten army, fugitives in disguise, expatriates in foreign lands, homeless tramps, or lonely wanderers.

 Lóránt Czigány: A History of Hungarian Literature / 2. Conservative Fiction
It was the local kuruc tradition in the county of Zemplén which Komáromi used as material for his historical novels, and popular heroes, like Jakab Buga or Tamás Esze, were the main characters in his stories, which were written with Romantic exaggeration and much patriotic fire.
All Komáromi’s kurucs were penniless vagabonds or outlaws whose only asset was their fierce patriotism, which was still enough to defeat the better-equipped labancs who sided with foreign rule.
The general course historical fiction might take was perhaps epitomized by the overt nationalism of Gyula Somogyvári (1895-1953), who became a best-selling author under the pen-name of Gyula diák.
