Batsányi, János

Batsányi, János

▪ Hungarian poet
born May 9, 1763, Tapolca, Hung.
died May 12, 1845, Linz, Austria

      Hungary's leading political poet during the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic periods in Europe.

      Beginning his career as a tutor, Batsányi became the editor of Magyar Museum and emerged as an eloquent advocate of social progress and Enlightenment ideals in Hungary. In his political poetry he voiced anti-royalist sentiments and advocated revolution and radical social change. He also wrote lyric poems, among which are many fine elegies. He was an ardent supporter of the French Revolution, an event that inspired his most famous political poem, A franciaországi változásokra (1789; “On the Changes in France”). After being imprisoned in Hungary for a year, he moved in 1796 to Vienna, where he married the Austrian poet Gabriella Baumberg. He supported Napoleon and finally settled in Paris, where he was seized by the Austrians after Napoleon's fall. He was thenceforth interned in the Austrian city of Linz for the remaining 30 years of his life and played little further role in Hungarian literature.
