Summary "Népdalok és mondák (1. kötet); Magyar népköltési gyüjtemény" by János Erdélyi is a collection of folk songs and tales compiled in the mid-19th century. This work brings together various pieces of Hungarian oral tradition, emphasizing the cultural and historical significance of the country's folk poetry. The collection is likely aimed at preserving the richness of Hungarian folklore by documenting songs that span themes of love, nature, and social life. The opening of the volume presents a comprehensive preface that outlines the motivations behind the collection of Hungarian folk poetry. Erdélyi reflects on prior efforts to gather folk songs, noting the necessity to maintain their authenticity and cultural value in the face of fading traditions. The text suggests a collaborative effort with contributions from local scholars and enthusiasts, revealing the collective endeavor to safeguard these folk expressions. Additionally, the first section introduces a series of love songs that poignantly convey the emotional landscape of Hungarian romantic relationships, setting the stage for the lyrical exploration of the genre throughout the volume.
