Aurora (literary Journal)
''Aurora'' was a literary journal founded by Károly Kisfaludy in 1821. It was crucial in the development of Romanticism in Hungarian literature, and in establishing Pest as a literary centre. The magazine adopted a progressive literary approach. History Kisfaludy began collecting contributions in 1820, but it was not until the autumn of 1821 that the first issue appeared (bearing the date 1822). He himself wrote prolifically for his own magazine: short stories, poems, and folk songs. It began as an annual but by its end it was appearing at six-month intervals. Its circulation was approximately 1000. Hungarian writers who travelled abroad to cultivate links with German and English literati could point to ''Aurora'' as evidence of the existence of a new and vital literary culture which would transcend the neoclassicism of elder figures like Ferenc Kazinczy. Béla Bartók also published articles on music in the magazine. Upon Kisfaludy's death in 1830, József Bajza took over the ma ...

19th-century Establishments In Hungary
The 19th century began on 1 January 1801 (represented by the Roman numerals MDCCCI), and ended on 31 December 1900 (MCM). It was the 9th century of the 2nd millennium. It was characterized by vast social upheaval. Slavery was abolished in much of Europe and the Americas.

A few decades later, the Second Industrial Revolution led to ever more massive urbanization and much higher levels of productivity, profit, and prosperity, a pattern that continued into the 20th century. The Catholic Church, in response to the growing influence and power of modernism, secularism and materialism, formed the First Vatican Council in the late 19th century to deal with such problems and confirm cer ...
