Abstract

This paper, which focuses upon the analysis of street names and public monuments in the central area of Budapest, leads us to consider how the fundamental and far-reaching under-girdings of literature (world literature, the very system of writing, literary art, literary institutions) ultimately influence the portayal of the cityscape and the very representation of the city. In such evocations of Budapest, one discovers that description and depiction constitute, above all else, a conduit for political content.
