The Serbian literature of the First World War

The Serbian literature of the First World War, written by authors both from the Kingdom of Serbia and the Habsburg Monarchy, ranges from war chronicles by soldier-writers to avant-garde memoirs and poems that sought to make sense of the war. Newspapers printed in Greece included literary appendices which testify to the vitality of Serbian culture in exile, particularly as the press in Serbia itself were subject to strict censorship by the occupying forces. Much of the war literature was repressed and rejected after 1919, and since then, scholars have mainly looked to Habsburg Serbian authors, such as Miloš Crnjanski, to represent the Serbian war experience.
