Perhaps the most recent and best general statement of the Jugo-Slav problem as a whole is to be found in A. H. E. Taylor's _The Future of the Southern Slavs_ (New York, 1917). Another useful general work is by the Serb, V. R. Savi[c]. The title is, _South-Eastern Europe: The Main Problem of the Present World Struggle_ (New York, 1918). This is an American edition, revised and enlarged, of the author's English work: _The Reconstruction of South-Eastern Europe_ (London, 1917). The noted French historian, to whom the western world owes much of its knowledge about Slavic history, Ernest Denis, presents an able survey of the general problem in his _La grande Serbie_ (Paris, 1915). It is written largely around Serbia, like Savi[c]'s book. B. Vo[s]njak in _A Bulwark against Germany_ (London, 1917), and _A Dying Empire_ (London, 1918), presents to western readers, for the first time, the development of the Slovene districts of Austria and their relation to that empire and to the Jugo-Slavs. With regard to Austria-Hungary and the Jugo-Slavs in particular, the west owes most to the penetrating studies of R. W. Seton-Watson, who formerly wrote under the name of Scotus Viator. Before the war, Seton-Watson wrote _The Southern Slav Problem and the Habsburg Monarchy_ (London, 1911), wherein he discusses the whole problem from the point of view of the Croats, in contrast to the Serbs. The author subsequently rectified this point of view in _The Balkans, Italy, and the Adriatic_ (London, 1915); _German, Slav, and Magyar_ (London, 1916); and _The Rise of Nationality in the Balkans_ (London, 1917).
