Abstract
Mór Jókai’s play, Olympi verseny (Olympic Competition), was written to mark the fiftieth anniversary of the National Theatre and was staged in 1887. The play presents the role of the past and the present in theatre through a debate between Past and Present, but it also transcends this: it compares the significance of historical past and present symbols of national identity. My aim in this study is to present general approaches to the concept of identity and the layers of identity, focusing primarily on the means of expression of national and linguistic identity. In my research, I examine the lexical, rhetorical, stylistic, and semiotic linguistic devices used by Jókai in his play Olympi verseny to represent elements of national identity. Based on this, I attempt to outline what kind of national image and identity Jókai could have envisioned in this play.
