Kersnik's literary-aesthetic viewpoint and literary-critical standards can partially be determined from his correspondence, feuilltons, and other writings, but most thoroughly from his study (lecture) Razvoj svetove poezije (The evolution of world poetry, 1877/1878) and reviews (in Ljubljanski zvon) about Mahnič's Dvanajsti večeri (Twelve nights, 1888), Luiza Pesjak's Beatin dnevnik (Beate's journal, 1888), Funtek's Godec (Fiddler, 1889), and Aškerc's Balade in romance (Balads and romances, 1890).
