Source-derived summary

Vojislav Ilić Mlađi (Serbian Cyrillic: Војислав Илић Млађи; 7 October 1877 – 22 May 1944) was a Serbian writer and poet.

Biography

He is often mistaken with the 19th-century Serbian poet Vojislav Ilić to whom he was not related although for a time they lived near each other in the part of Belgrade called Palilula. Due to their same name, surname and even the same middle initial and out of respect to the older Ilić, he added the title of Mlađi (the Younger) to his name.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

“Vojislav Ilić Mlađi” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Vojislav, Ilić and Mlađi provides the most credible route into that argument.

Evidence profile

The entry’s evidential value lies in the named roles, institutions and publications that can be tested against primary documentation. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 28, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q12749960. The first chronological checks are 1877 and 1944.

Critical limits

Public reputation and documentary evidence do not always develop together; absence from a summary is not evidence of historical absence. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
