Романтизм в польской и грузинской литературе. К вопросу сходства и отличия

Abstract

The paper addresses the issue of similarities and differences in Polish and Georgian Romanticism. The analysis shows that Romanticism in Georgian literature, in contrast to Polish Romanticism, which developed in stark opposition to classicism and sentimentalism, was developed as a result of a quick and smooth process.At the early stage of Polish Romanticism, the leading genre of this literary trend was the ballad, whereas in Georgian Romanticism, it was the elegy. In Polish and Georgian Romanticism, an important genre is also the poetic novel, which is due to the socio-historical situation of Poland and Georgia: the loss of independence.
