Bajza

Bajza, Joseph, born at Szuesi, Hungary, in 1804, adopted the profession of journalism, and edited from 1830 to 1837 Kisfaludy's Aurora, to which his first poems were contributed. He wrote in various journals on a variety of topics, especially the drama, and he compiled the Historical Library, Modern Plutarch, and Universal History. Adopting revolutionary principles, he was editor in 1848 of Kossuth's paper, but his last years were rendered fruitless by disease, and he died in 1858.
