Svetozar Markovic, the first genuine socialist in the Balkans, was
founder of the Serbian cooperative movement, social reformer,
literary critic, polemicist, political leader, and father of Balkan
socialist journalism. Mr. McClellan's study, based upon original
Russian and Serbian sources, is both an intellectual biography and
an historical and theoretical analysis of the development of
Serbian socialism; as such it supplants the two standard but biased
accounts written some years ago in Serbian by Skerlic and
Jovanovic. Using the career of Markovic as a vehicle, the author
examines the intellectual pressures and conflicts which tormented
the Balkan educated classes in the 19th century. He shows how, in
this atmosphere of change, Markovic became the herald of a new age,
as he sought to revitalize the ancient communal institutions of the
Balkan states and combine in his philosophy the influence of
Marxism, Russian revolutionary democracy, and Serbian communal
tradition. Originally published in 1964. The Princeton Legacy
Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make
available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished
backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the
original texts of these important books while presenting them in
durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton
Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly
heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton
University Press since its founding in 1905.
