Kisfaludy

Kisfaludy, Sandor (1772-1844), a Hungarian poet, served for many years in the Austrian army, but afterwards devoted himself to literature and farming. His chief work was called Himfy's Loves (1801-7). His collected works appeared in 1847, and to these in 1870 were added four volumes of posthumous writings. His brother, Karoly (1788-1830), who was born at Tet in Raab and died at Pesth, was a prolific dramatist. His chief works were The Student Matthias and The Tatars in Hungary. In 1837 a society was formed to commemorate the literary services of the brothers.
