SONNET FORM IN DAGESTAN POETRY OF THE SECOND HALF OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY

Abstract

Important modern literary criticism problem is the «circulation» of literary traditions in the global cultural space. The paper explores the creative development of the European sonnet traditions in multinational Dagestan literature, which is a unique phenomenon. Modern Dagestani literature is developing in the fourteen official written and literary languages, and in each of the Dagestan national literatures, the Arab-oriental, Russian, and European literature traditions have manifested themselves in their own way. It is determined that, having turned to this form of verse, the second half of the 20th century Dagestani poets, synthesizing in their work the Eastern, Russian and European literature traditions, created new forms in their national literatures. Thus, our study pages examine the penetration of the European sonnet traditions and its appearance as a «sonnet form», in whiche development Russian literature acted as an intermediary in modern Dagestan poetry. The work results carried out allow us to assert that in each of the Dagestan literatures the sonnet genre form developed in different ways.
