Forthcoming talks for March
On Friday 16 March, Gwen Jones will talk about the prose fiction of Budapest, 1873-1939, discuss urban writing in the Hungarian and regional context, and suggest some ways in which we might approach the anomalies of Central European big city life and art in the era of High Modernity.
On 23 March, Eszter Tarsoly will present her work on Hungarian linguistic purism in a broader comparative context, contrasting purism in German, Romanian, Czech and Hungarian linguistic thinking.
Talks take place in the Jacques wine bar of the Tavistock Hotel, at 3 pm (map).

Oh how I would love be there! Curse all those things we must do to pay the bills…
Is there any chance we could see a handout or better yet, a written version of both talks?

Sure. There’ll be a report on the site but I can send transcripts too. Thanks for the interest!
