Excerpt from The Future of the Southern Slavs IN the summer of 1915 it was suggested to me that an article contributed by me to the British Review on the Renascence of Serbia might be expanded into a volume on the subject. When eventually I acted on this suggestion, instead of expanding the article in question I thought it better altogether to enlarge the scope of what I had written into a volume on the future of the Southern Slavs rather than to confine myself to the more limited design and to the past. Some paragraphs of Chapter I, and a portion of Chapter III section II, appeared in the British Review for April 1915, and the greater part of the second section of Chapter VI dealing with the serbo-bulgarian Treaty of 1912 appeared in the same Review for September 1915 the latter article in its original form was also reprinted by request in Mr. Crawford Price's book Light on the Balkan Darkness. With these slight exceptions the matter of this volume is entirely new. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

"At the outbreak of this war one often heard the question, What have we to do with Serbia 1' and to such a question it could until the end of July 1914 with a considerable amount of truth have been answered, Nothing.' There is scarcely any race in Europe of which most people in England know less than they do of the Serbs, and there is no European country with which we have had less intercourse. This ignorance is not altogether our own fault it is the result partly of geographical, partly of historical facts which have till now contributed to distract our attention from the western half of the Balkan peninsula."-- p.3.

First Published in 1996. In identifying the causes of such a national and international failure in conflict management, The South Slav Conflict becomes a valuable case study in comparative politics and international relations. Edited by Raju G .C . Thomas and H. Richard Frim and, is unique among these by virtue of its thoroughly interdisciplinary approach to the causes and consequences of the war. The book’s great strength begins with its forthright assertion that no serious attempt to explain the current cycle of genocide and revenge among Serbs, Croats, and Bosnians can avoid the inherent complexity of the factors that transform ed Yugoslavia from one of the most pluralist of European communist states into a theater of human misery.

67 texts, including hymns, manifestos, articles or extracts from lengthy studies exemplify the relation between Romanticism and the national movements in the cultural space ranging from Poland to the Ottoman Empire. Each text is accompanied by a presentation of the author, and by an analysis of the context in which the respective work was born.The end of the 18th century and first decades of the 19th were in many respects a watershed period in European history. The ideas of the Enlightenment and the dramatic convulsions of the French Revolution had shattered the old bonds and cast doubt upon the established moral and social norms of the old corporate society. In culture a new trend, Romanticism, was successfully asserting itself against Classicism and provided a new key for a growing number of activists to 're-imagine' their national community, reaching beyond the traditional frameworks of identification (such as the 'political nation', regional patriotism, or Christian universalism). The collection focuses on the interplay of Romantic cultural discourses and the shaping of national ideology throughout the 19th century, tracing the patterns of cultural transfer with Western Europe as well as the mimetic competition of national ideologies within the region.
