Bálint Buday„I found out little if any about *”The authorial footnotes in Hungarian poetry of the 1970’s, 80’s and 90’s
In my study, I intend to examine the possible poetic functions of the footnote as paratext in lyrical texts, from a partly theoretical, partly historical approach. Sincethe poetic role of the ‘genre’ of the footnoted poem dramatically increased in the last third of the 20th century, this paper aims to present the footnoted poems ofthree canonical poets who are representative of the poetic scene of the era: Dezső Tandori, György Petri and Ottó Orbán. I take it upon myself to showcase how particularlyappropriate the footnote is as a device for demonstrating the attitude of the persona of the poem towards himself, the world, language, tradition, as well as portrayinghis ironical view of writing poetry as a profession.
