| Summary / Abstract (Note) | This paper examines three widespread views: that nationalism is a modern phenomenon with negligible premodern antecedents or none; that South Slav nationalisms have emerged in the late eighteenth to early nineteenth century; and that they arose in emulation of their West European forerunners. I argue that modern nationalism has appreciable antecedents suggestive of protonationalism or premodern nationalism; that such antecedents are found within and beyond Western Europe; and that premodern Croatian nationalism was not an offshoot of Western antecedents, but as autochthonous as any comparable social phenomena can be. |
