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 |
