There is a comprehensive bibliography of the populist movement, R. Varga-S. Patyi: A népi írók bibliográfiája: Művek, irodalom, mozgalom, 1920-1960 (1972). A good, general survey by G. Borbándi: Der ungarische Populismus (Munich, 1976); also by E. András: The Rise and Development in Hungary of the so-called ‘Popular Movement’, 1920-1956 (Vienna, 1974).
