Starting as a novelist depicting peasant life in Dalmatia, Kosor "graduated into a naturalist dramatist of some power". He was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature three times.

His plays Passion's Furnace (1912), The Invincible Ship (1921), and Reconciliation (1923) were translated for performance in England.
