The Life and works of Hungarian writers (in Hungarian Magyar írók élete és munkái) is a lexicon of Hungarian literature written at the turn of the century by József Szinnyei. The 14-volume work, published between 1891 and 1914, sought to bring together all those who had published a literary work published (or left in manuscript) in their hands. The life and work of Hungarian writers is still a masterpiece and one of the greatest simple literary works.
