Summary/Abstract: Article examines the possibility of interpreting some of Kosor’s less known literary works (poetry White Flames, plays A Unconquerable Ship, Humankind, The Conciliation, novel A Downfall) in the context of anti-modernist paradigm. Could a cosmic motif, often present in Kosor’s works, be deemed a bearer of either anti-modernist or expressionist world view of the writer? Can Kosor’s antithetical texts be categorised at all?
