Mostar u djelima Vladimira Ćorovića
Mostar in the Works of Vladimir Ćorović

Summary/Abstract: Vladimir Ćorović (1885-1941) was a historian whose scientific interests spanned from prehistory to contemporary subjects; he was also a writer, from medieval and traditional to modern literature; philologist, a political publicist etc. Apart from historical topics, in his works Ćorović presented the time at the turn of the two centuries, the time of political turmoil and the cultural activities possible in these circumstances. Writing about his home town, Ćorović had an emotional incentive but he remained impartial in his conclusions about the treated issues. The cultural revival in Mostar, in which he actively took part, destroyed prejudices in other South-Slavic countries about Herzegovina as some wild area of uneducated people. Even though Ćorović was critical towards the existing condition because of his wish for more work and success, a great number of publications, journals and societies were founded and functioned in this time prior to the beginning of the First World War.
