Horvat Rudolf

Summary

Rudolf Horvat: History of Croatia

Rudolf Horvat (Koprivnica, 1873-Zagreb, 1947) is a Croatian historian and politician. These data speak most eloquently about the extensiveness of Horvat's historical, written and spoken oeuvre: he published 56 books on Croatian history and more than 1,200 articles in various newspapers and professional magazines, and held more than 2,000 lectures. The only bibliography of Rudolf Horvat published in 1991 by Mira Kolar-Dimitrijević sparked interest in Horvat's historical oeuvre, which resulted in the rejection of old positions that deprived Horvat of the right to be a prominent Croatian historian, declaring him only "a chronicler and processor of unimportant and even hasty data." As the author of the foreword, Mira Kolar-Dimitrijević, emphasizes, Horvat's critics did not understand that he had no alternative: either he had to treat historical topics in a simple and easy way acceptable to the people, or he had to disappear from the historiographic scene because his place among history lecturers was often taken away (as a high school teacher he worked in Osijek, Zemun, Petrinja and Zagreb).   Horvat influenced the attitude of historians towards the latest, often very sensitive topics. He was the first to cover the events of 1848 (the War of the Croats with the Hungarians in 1848, Zagreb, 1900 and 1901), his History of Croatia (Petrinja, 1904) was the first to cover the entire 19th century, and he will touch on the most recent events of that time in the book Croatia on Torture (Zagreb, 1942), which will bring him a lot of trouble in the post-war state (in 1945 he was sentenced to the loss of political and civil rights).
