HINTS
THE following bibliography is nothing but a selected list and it has
not seemed advisable to include material which is to be found in
periodicals. [FN: For further information the investigator may
consult _Slavic Europe: A Selected Bibliography in the Western European
Languages comprising History, Languages, and Literature_. By R. J.
Kerner. In press.]
Perhaps the most recent and best general statement of the Jugo-Slav
problem as a whole is to be found in A. H. E. Taylor's _The Future of
the Southern Slavs_ (New York, 1917). Another useful general work is by
the Serb, V. R. Savi[c]. The title is, _South-Eastern Europe: The Main
Problem of the Present World Struggle_ (New York, 1918). This is an
American edition, revised and enlarged, of the author's English work:
_The Reconstruction of South-Eastern Europe_ (London, 1917). The noted
French historian, to whom the western world owes much of its knowledge
about Slavic history, Ernest Denis, presents an able survey of the
general problem in his _La grande Serbie_ (Paris, 1915). It is written
largely around Serbia, like Savi[c]'s book. B. Vo[s]njak in _A Bulwark
against Germany_ (London, 1917), and _A Dying Empire_ (London, 1918),
presents to western readers, for the first time, the development of the
Slovene districts of Austria and their relation to that empire and to
the Jugo-Slavs.
With regard to Austria-Hungary and the Jugo-Slavs in particular, the
west owes most to the penetrating studies of R. W. Seton-Watson,
who formerly wrote under the name of Scotus Viator. Before the war,
Seton-Watson wrote _The Southern Slav Problem and the Habsburg Monarchy_
(London, 1911), wherein he discusses the whole problem from the point
of view of the Croats, in contrast to the Serbs. The author subsequently
rectified this point of view in _The Balkans, Italy, and the Adriatic_
(London, 1915); _German, Slav, and Magyar_ (London, 1916); and _The Rise
of Nationality in the Balkans_ (London, 1917).
Numerous writers on Austrian and Balkan affairs have devoted parts of
their general works to the Jugo-Slav movement. Only a few typical
ones can be mentioned here. Paul Samassa, _Der Voelkerstreit im
Habsburgerstaat_ (Leipzig, 1910), may be taken as representative of
the German of the German Empire. T. von Sosnosky's _Die Politik
im Habsburgerreiche_ (Berlin, 1912-13, 2 vols.) is the work of an
Austrophil, as is also W. von Schierbrand's _Austria-Hungary: The
Polyglot Empire_ (New York, 1917); H. W. Steed's _The Habsburg Monarchy_
(London, 1914, 2d ed.) is one of the ablest surveys in the English
language. It is thoroughly worked out in the general features, but
slights many of the national and provincial aspects of the Austrian
question. V. Gayda's _La crisi di un impero_ (2d ed., 1915), English
ed., _Modern Austria_ (New York, 1915) is an unusually able work by
an Italian who sees clearly on every question except that of Italia
Irredenta. A. Toynbee's _Nationality and the War_ (London, 1915)
is another very useful summary of the question. The official
Austro-Hungarian point of view has been stated in such works, among many
others, as Hitter von Sax, _Die Wahrheit ueber die serbische Frage und
das Serbentum in Bosnien_ (Vienna, 1909); L. Mandl, _Oesterreich-Ungarn
und Serbien_ (Vienna, 1911); C. M. Knachtbull-Hugessen, _The Political
Evolution of the Hungarian Nation_ (London, 1908, 2 vols.); and numerous
official publications and dossiers.
The works thus far mentioned were based on numerous studies in Slavic
and other languages, only a few of which can be mentioned here.
For the Slovenes one will look into Josef Apih's _Slovenci in 1848 leto_
(Lubla[n], 1888); Lon[c]ar's _Politi[c]no [z]ivljenje Slovencei_ (in
Bleiweis's _Zbornik._ Published by the Matica Slovenska, Lubla[n],
1909); and Vos[n]jak's _Spomini_ (Lubla[n], 1906, 2 vols.).

Hrvata_ (Zagreb, 1899 ff., 5 vols.); R. Horvat, _Najnovije doba
hrvatske povjesti_ (Zagreb, 1906); Milan Marjanovi[c], _Hrvatski
pokret_ (Dubrovnik, 1903-04, 2 vols.); L. V. Berezin, _Khorvatsi[ia],
Slavoni[ia], Dalmatsi[ia] i Voenna[ia] Granitsa_ (St. Petersburg, 1879);

narodna ideja_ (Rad Jugo-Slavenski Akad. 1xxx); V. Zagorsky, _Francois
Ra[c]ki et la renaissance scientifique et politique de la Croatie

For the Serbs, a few of the fundamental works are: L. Kova[c]evi[c] and
L. Jovanovi[c], _Istorija srpskoga naroda _(Belgrade, 1893-94, 2
vols.); S. Stanojevi[c], _Istorija srpskoga naroda_ (Belgrade, 1908); J.
Risti[c], _Diplomatska istorija srbije, 1875-1878_ (Belgrade, 1896-98);
V. V. Ra[c]i[c], _Le royaume de Serbie. Etude d'histoire diplomatique
et de droit international_ (Paris, 1901); F. P. Kanitz, _Das Koenigreich
Serbien und das Serbenvolk von der Roemerzeit bis zur Gegenwart_
(Leipzig, 1904-09, 2 vols.); S. Gop[c]evi[c], _Geschichte von Montenegro
und Albanien_ (Gotha, 1914); F. S. Stevenson, _A History of Montenegro_
(London, 1912).[FN: Lack of space forbids special mention of
works by such scholars as Loiseau, Vellay, Laveleye, Hron, Masaryk,
Spalajkovi[c], Barre, [FN (cont.): Kallay, Marczali, Prezzolini,
Sokolovi[c], Novakovi[c], Cheradame, Evans, Erdeljanovi[c].

H. Hinkovi[c] has written the most concise statement of the case of the

Magazine_ (1917).]
There is a good survey of the history of the Jugo-Slavs in Russian: G.
Il'inski[i], _Kratk'i[i] kurs istori[i] [iu]zhnikh slav[ia]n_ (Kharkov,
1909).
