Abstract

The highly acclaimed Serbian poet and novelist Miloš Crnjanski (1893-1977) was well known for being a nationalist and a monarchist for most of his life. In the mid-1930s, as editor and contributor to several journals, he also came for a time to espouse radical right-wing ideas bordering on mystical Serbian messianism. He spent over twenty years in exile but returned to Yugoslavia in 1965. This article focuses on Crnjanski’s non-fiction, not his poetry and novels, to to track the way World War One and its aftermath influenced his political views. This influence is examined under the four rubrics of violence, Vienna, Venezuela, and Versailles, in an effort better to understand the diversity interwar Yugoslav political ideas, some of which are very much present today.
