Verstan és Versirás

Attila József ’s manuscript Verstan és Versirás is one of the few surviving autobiographically inspired writings by poet. These fall into two main categories: curriculum vitaes intended mainly for official purposes, and confessions about life experiences catharses composed in a subjective tone. Texts this latter category can further be distuinguished their purpose: on hand, there are essays meant publication concerned with psychological background creative process personality poet; other, texts occasioned psychoanalytical therapy aimed at self-healing. However, some that require analysis before they subsumed any these categories, date composition likewise uncertain. The work entitled such text. Its genetic history has not been clarified satisfactorily, text variants which have published inaccurate, it received scant critical reception. My paper therefore an attempt summarising text’s reception history, to shed light circumstances its creation. In my opinion, only important document last years József, but also possesses significant, ntrinsic artistic value. I trust exact will constitute suitable starting point both analysis, explorations concerning relevance poetic oeuvre.
