In his most important review, New Life (1910), he explains the idea of literary work as a result of synthesis of the national and social interests with the aesthetic categories.
He is considered to be one of the inaugurators of comparative literary approach in Croatian academic writing and lecturing.
He highly contributed to introducing writers such as Aldous Huxley, Virginia Woolf, John Galsworthy, Florence Louise Barclay, G. K. Chesterton and others into Croatian cultural milieu.
Among the first academic papers dedicated to Maraković were those written in the 1990s by our literary comparatist and author Helena Peričić.
Maraković's work was neglected in the period after the Second World War and before 1990s, especially because of his Catholic orientation.
