"The last Hungarian work on the history of Hungarian culture was published between 1939 and 1942. After the communist takeover in 1947-48, under the ideological autocracy of Marxism, cultural history as a discipline came under suspicion, and was therefore pushed into the background; even the university departments were abolished. It was not until the 1960s that cultural history started gradually to regain its status". Time Period 18th Century.
