Literary criticism
On joining the university he tried to make a living in literature. It was there that he began the preparation of numerous valuable tracts on the history of Serbian literature during the Middle Ages to the present day,[6] and of dissertations and discussions on points of literary interest, as well as the publication of his various philosophical, legal poetical and other works absorbed the greater part of his time. These brought him into communication with the most distinguished scholars and literary critics of Europe and Russia.
He was under the influence of French literary critic Charles Augustin Sainte-Beuve and German political and literary writer Ludwig Börne.
