Antal Csengery

Antal Csengery (June 2, 1822 – July 13, 1880), Hungarian publicist, and a historical writer of great influence on his time.

He took, at an early date, a very active part in the literary and political movements immediately preceding the Hungarian Revolution of 1848.

He and Baron Sigismund Kemny may be considered as the two founders of high-class Magyar journalism.

In that manner his influence, as represented by the text of many a statute regulating the relations between Austria and Hungary, is one of an abiding character.

[1] As a historical writer he excelled chiefly in brilliant and thoughtful essays on the leading political personalities of his time, such as Paul Nagy, Bertalan Szemere and others.
