The 1830s and 1840s was a period of major social development in modern Hungarian history, usually termed the Reform eraReform era. This chapter considers Hungarian perceptions of Ireland during these years. I examine published accounts of Ireland written by three important figures in Hungarian political life who visited Ireland in the 1830s: József Eötvös, Ferenc Pulszky and Bertalan Szemere. Eötvös was a prominent liberal intellectual with a close family connection to the Habsburg monarchy. Pulszky worked as an ally of the political leader of the Hungarian Revolution 1848–49, Lajos Kossuth, later serving as Kossuth’s secretary in America during the 1850s. Bertalan Szemere also played a leading role in the Revolution, living in exile in Paris following its defeat. I consider liberal reformist outlooks and transnational aspects of their observations on poverty in Ireland, Irish history and Daniel O’Connell’s campaign for Repeal of the Act of Union. I also examine the attention that O’Connell’s repeal campaign received in the early 1840s in Pesti Hirlap [Pest News], the newspaper that Lajos Kossuth founded in 1841 to promote the patriotic ideals that eventually led to the Hungarian Revolution of 1848–49.
