Anthologies

S. Endrődy: A magyar költészet kincsesháza (1895; 2nd ed. 1912). Z. Alszeghy: A magyar irodalom kincsesháza (1941); L. Báránszky-Jób: A magyar széppróza története szemelvényekben (1937); G. Bisztray-D. Kerecsényi: A magyar próza könyve, 2 vols. (1942-8); G. F. Cushing: Hungarian Prose and Verse (1956; 2nd ed. 1973) J. Horváth: Magyar versek könyve (1937; 2nd enlarged ed. 1942) Hét évszázad magyar versei. The 1st ed. (1951) of this work is marred by the policies governing selection; from the 2nd ed. onwards (4 vols. 1954) it reflects the prevailing literary taste (3rd ed. 3 vols. 1966; 4th ed. 3 vols. 1972; 5th ed. 4 vols. 1979). The most comprehensive anthology of literary texts was published for the use of universities: Magyar irodalmi szöveggyűjtemény, vol. 1 in 2 pts. (1951-2; revised ed:1963-6); vol. 2 in 2 pts. (1952-5); vol. 3 in 2 pts. (1962, 1961) and vol. 4 in 2 pts. (1963). I. Csanádi: A magyar valóság versei 1475-1945, 2 vols. (1966); L. Cs. Szabó: Magyar versek Aranytól napjainkig (Rome, 1953); Magyar elbeszélők, 4 vols., (1961). There are several anthologies in English referred to in the bibliographical sections dealing with particular chapters; none of these is as comprehensive as the Anthologie de la poésie hongroise du XIIe siécle a nos jours, ed. L. Gara (1962) in French.
