New Methods and New Representation — The Royal Commissioning in the Age of Dualism

Abstract

Gedeon Ráday eliminated the outlaws during his Royal Commissioner activity (1869—1872) and restored public order. The raiders, robbers and killers meant the real threat; they usually worked in groups of 4—8 members, but these groups had little to do with folk romantic. Ráday caught not only individual raiders but also eliminated their well-built network in the upper classes. He used new ways and psychological methods which brought outstanding results. The literature and the cinematic art commemorates Ráday’s work.
