Abstract
Abstract
This article will examine the cultural transfer between the Netherlands and Hungary in the period from 1945 to 1989. First, the political and economic balances of power in Hungary, the influence of communist ideology and the operation of censorship will be presented. Next, I chart the distribution of Dutch literature in Hungary during the mentioned period. Then, based on Petra Broomans’ hypothesis concerning the canonization of cultural mediators, I examine the career of five Hungarian cultural mediators and reflect on what made them successful or less successful in cultural transfer.
