Hungarian historiography needs to review its negative representation of towns and burghers typical of the first half of nineteenth-century Hungary, as Vera Bácskai, a major figure of Hungarian urban history suggested in a paradigmatic paper. Starting from her statements, this article examines the historical narratives of secondary school textbooks and wider historical syntheses of Hungarian history published in the age of Austria-Hungary (1867–1918). The author shows that the burghers’ negative image was rooted in the political fights prior to the 1848 Revolution and the emergence of modern nationalism.

匈牙利市民负面历史表征的起源

正如匈牙利城市历史的主要人物维拉·巴奇在一篇范式论文中所建议的那样，匈牙利史学需要审查其对 19 世纪上半叶典型的城镇和市民的负面表现。本文从她的陈述开始，考察了奥匈帝国时代（1867-1918）出版的中学教科书的历史叙述和更广泛的匈牙利历史历史综合。作者表明，市民的负面形象植根于 1848 年革命之前的政治斗争和现代民族主义的出现。
