About the author
Born in Mencshely on October 23, 1873, and dying in Budapest on November 18, 1934, Géza Lampérth was a Hungarian poet, writer, and stage author. Hungarian reference sources describe him as a versatile literary figure, and records of his published works show that he wrote both poetry and prose.
Biographical sources note that he studied law in Budapest and later worked as an official at the National Archives. He was also active in literary institutions, serving as chief secretary of the Petőfi Society, which points to a role not just as an author but as an organizer within Hungary’s cultural world.
Today, Lampérth is remembered mainly through his poems and prose collections, including works that remain available in digital archives. His career reflects the lively literary culture of turn-of-the-century Hungary, where writers often moved easily between public service, journalism, literature, and the theater.
