About the author
Born in Veszprém on January 16, 1850, and died in Budapest on November 7, 1920, Sándor Endrődi was a Hungarian poet, writer, and translator. Sources agree that he became a well-known lyrical voice in Hungarian literature, and that he was later elected a corresponding member of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences.
Accounts of his career note that he taught at a secondary school in Nagyvárad from 1878 to 1892, then worked with the journal records of the Hungarian House of Representatives. He was also associated with the Kisfaludy Society, which places him firmly within the literary life of his time.
Endrődi published many volumes across several decades. Among the works reliably listed for him are the poetry collection Tücsökdalok and the folk-song volume Magyar népdalok, showing both his gift for lyric expression and his interest in preserving Hungarian literary and oral traditions.
