Abstract
In this chapter I treat a short period in the life of Tin Ujević (1891–1955). This period covers his political activity from March, 1912 when he went to Belgrade for the first time, to the end of World War I, when, on his return from Paris to the newly-formed Kingdom of the Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, his participation in public political life ceased. This political activity was based on the idea of the unification of Croats, Slovenes and Serbs as formulated by the so-called Nationalist Youth and was contemporary with Ujević’s work on the verse which would become the core of his first collection, Lelek sebra (The serf’s lament, 1920).1 Between 1912 and 1919 Ujević wrote some 80 political articles.
