Ágnes Nemes Nagy (January 3, 1922[1] – August 23, 1991[2]) was a Hungarian poet, writer, educator, and translator.[1]
She was born in Budapest and earned a teaching diploma from the University of Budapest. From 1945 to 1953, she was employed by the education journal Köznevelés;[1] from 1953 to 1957, she taught high school.[3] After 1957, she devoted herself to writing.[1]
Following World War II, Nemes Nagy worked on a literary periodical Újhold (New Moon); the editor was critic Balázs Lengyel, who she later married. The magazine was eventually banned by the government of the time.[3] In 1946, Nemes Nagy published her first volume of poetry Kettős világban (In a dual world). In 1948, she was awarded the Baumgarten Prize. During the 1950s, her own work was suppressed and she worked as a translator, translating the works of Molière, Racine, Corneille, Bertolt Brecht and others.[1]
