Concludes that orientalism was not so strong in Hungary as in Western Europe because of the spirit of nationalism that permeated its romantic temperament to the point of making this current serve nationalism, and asserts that the Hungarian romantics' turning away from the West European type of orientalism was caused by Hungary's Eastern origins, which so strongly predisposed Hungarian society to receive it.
