Summary/Abstract: Although Serbia ranks among the countries in which the modernization has come late, its culture contains an important modernization potentiality. This potentiality can be especially recognized in literature at the turn of the nineteenth to the twentieth century. In my opinion, searching for an example in foreign modernization movements, while ignoring own heritage, presents the main reason for backwardness in Serbia’s ’moderna’. Therefore, there is still no consensus on seemingly basic question of modernization about which path to take - to the East or to the West? The anwer to this question lies in Serbian literature.
