Beschreibung
The autobiography of the spouse of the prominent Hungarian politician and revolutionary Ferenc Pulszky. It offers an intriguing female perspective on the Hungarian Revolution of 1848, and the subsequent war of independence-the failure of which resulted in the couple being forced to flee to England, where she composed this account of the tumultuous period.Theresa Pulszky (7 January 1819 - 4 September 1866), also known as Terezia Pulszky, was an Austro-Hungarian author and translator. Born in a Viennese family, she moved to Pest, Hungary after marrying her husband Ferenc Pulszky. Her experiences in Hungary and her subsequent escape from the country during the Hungarian Revolution of 1848 to London, England was written down in diary form and published in 1850 as the highly acclaimed book Memoirs of a Hungarian Lady. She and her husband published several more works together from their later experiences and in translated Hungarian stories, poems, and culture for English audiences. Together with her family, she traveled across the United States alongside abdicated Hungarian leader Lajos Kossuth in 1853, resulting in another positively reviewed book on their experiences in America.
