SURVIVAL OF THE 20TH CENTURY VERSE NOVELS IN THE CONTEMPORARY HUNGARIAN LITERATURE
Abstract
The present study undertakes the comparison of the genre features of the 20thcentury verse novels and that of the contemporaries, with especial regard to JánosTérey’s work entitled Paulus. Among these features belong the alteration of the story teller method, generic combination of the poem and the novel, the presence of irony in the texts, as well as the revival and transcription of the antecedent literary works. In case of the contemporary verse novels and in case of Paulus as well, the reader has to face an exceptionally wide-ranging text with the constant change of the scenes and the register. Although by its generic formulation, the text carries the generic features of the 20th century verse novel, it is more eclectic, and requires a different reading strategy.
