Hrvatska Misao

Hrvatska Misao was a politically critical newspaper of the Croatian literary movement in Prague, founded in 1897 . Its founders include: Živan Bertić , Milan Heimrl , Svetimir Korporić , Franjo Poljak Mihajlo Milan Šarić and the editor František Hlaváček .

Although the monthly newspaper Hrvatska Misao was mainly intended as a literary and cultural magazine, there were almost no articles of this kind to be read in it. This shows the almost utilitarian understanding of literature that then prevailed among these writers. Literature was subordinate to the important social questions. An elementary cultural change was required, liberation from the Kuk monarchy and the unification of all southern Slavs. The magazine was soon given the subtitle "Journal of the United Croatian, Serbian and Slovene Youth on Political, Social and Literary Issues" and thus set a prognostic sign for the Yugoslav future. The newspaper was banned after eight editions because of its “socialist and anarchist tendencies”. In 1902 it was re-established under the editor Stjepan Radić and with the same employees.
