- The native form of this personal name is Csokonai Vitéz Mihály. This article uses the Western name order.
Mihály Csokonai Vitéz (November 17, 1773 - January 28, 1805), Hungarian poet, was born in Debrecen.
Having been educated in his native town, he was appointed while still very young to the professorship of poetry there; but soon after he was deprived of the post on account of the immorality of his conduct.
The remaining twelve years of his short life were passed in almost constant wretchedness, and he died in his native town, and in his mother's house, when only thirty-one years of age.
Csokonai was a genial and original poet,with something of the lyrical fire of Sándor Petőfi, and wrote a mock-heroic poem called Dorottya or the Triumph of the Ladies at the Carnival, two or three comedies or farces, and a number of love-poems. Most of his works have been published, with a life, by Schedel (1844-1847).
