Árkádia Somogyban

ŸThe paper analyses a poem entitled the Tomb of Mihály Csokonai Vitéz. ThŸe work was published anonymously, but the poem was written by Ádám Pálóczi Horváth (1760–1820), a close friend of Mihály Csokonai Vitéz (1773–1805) and is an under-analyzed poeticcommentary on the early cult of Csokonai. ŸThe paper analyses an unknown text variant from Horváth Pálóczi’s collection of poems. ŸThe poem is linked to the 1806 Arcadia trial, surrounding Csokonai’s tomb in Debrecen. It is a commentary on the controversy fromthe point of view of a friend, and thus an important element of the cult of Csokonai from a Debrecen perspective. It designates a local memorial site and lists the places, the persons and the events that were significant for Csokonai during his stay in Somogy County.
