Biography
[edit | edit source]Born in Veszprim in 1848, she attended the Jewish community school of her birthplace, and later that in the town of Hódmezővásárhely, where her father was a teacher.[1] Versed in Hungarian, French, and German literature, Angyal began her literary career at the age of sixteen.[2] Her first novella, Egy magyar család kalandjai ('Adventures of a Hungarian Family'), was published in the Hungarian magazine Szegedi Hiradó. In 1865 she published in the Magyar Izsráelita a short novel entitled Előítéletek ('Prejudices'), in which she described the condition of the Jews in Hungary. Her historical novel, Ilonka és Elemér, was published in 1868.[3]
After the completion of this novel, she accepted a position as governess in Pest, where she wrote several poems and an autobiography. She died after succumbing to an illness in the autumn of 1874.[1]
