Gergely Czuczor (1800–1866)
Czuczor, Gergely (tsö’tsor or chö’chor). A Hungarian poet and philologist (1800–66). His two fine hero-ballads, ‘The Battle of Augsburg’ (1824) and ‘The Diet of Arat’ (1828), brought him instant celebrity. He was a Benedictine monk, and the eroticism of the first collection of his ‘Poetical Works’ (1836) brought on him stern animadversion from his superiors. In 1848 he published ‘Reveil,’ a passionate appeal to Hungarian national sentiment, and was imprisoned for it.
