Summary/Abstract: The starting point for considering how the Byzantine heritage values in Serbian avant-garde literature is Vinaver essay “Skerlić and Bojić”. In the avant-garde spirit, Vinaver return to Byzantium considered necessary for reasons that could be called subversive. Return to Byzantium and the Middle Ages mean the break with tradition and epic cultures. Image of Byzantium was the most present in the avant-garde travel writing. Stanislav Krakow and Stanislav Vinaver written about it while staying in Venice, Miloš Crnjanski was found byzantine art in the cities of Tuscany and Rastko Petrovic admires her in Constantinople. Byzantium was an important symbol for the determination of the creative, political and historical identity in the years after the First World War.
