Career

He was the first editor of the literary magazine Luč and for a long time the editor of the periodical Hrvatska prosvjeta. He collaborated on the Croatian Encyclopedia from 1941 to 1945. Because he was a Christian thinker and activist, his engagement was forbidden from Yugoslavian communists after 1945.

In his most important review, New Life (1910), he explains the idea of literary work as a result of synthesis of the national and social interests with the aesthetic categories.
