abstract = "In this article, we argue that the nineteenth-century Serbian scholars had a pivotal role
in establishing Kosovo as the crucial subject of Serbian literature, culture, and politics.
By revisiting the formation of the Kosovo epic in the collections of Vuk Karadžić, the
founder of modern Serbian culture, we trace his role in making Kosovo the foundational
myth of the whole Serbian nation from the nineteenth-century surge in Romantic
nationalism onwards. In particular, we scrutinize Karadžić’s editorial procedures as parts
of a process of cultural inscription representing a cultural transformation that made the
Kosovo epic an instance of the invention of national tradition in Eric Hobsbawm’s terms.",
