Abstract
Alexander Orbeliani is one of the most interesting representatives
of Georgian literature of the nineteenth century. He has worked
in several fields of literature - poetry, prose, drama, criticism and
journalism. Alexander Orbeliani’s literary abilities were most clearly
revealed in his critical works. Since the 1850s, he has published a
number of letters on both general literary issues and the works of
particular writers.
Alexander Orbeliani’s letter about Grigol Rcheulishvili’s story
“Widow’s Lemons” is noteworthy. In this article, the critic discusses
the specifics of the historical fiction in general and points out the inconsistencies
that greatly diminish the artistic value of Rcheulishvili’s story. In the letter “Attached to the Attachment”, the critic discusses
Daniel Chonkadze’s “Suram Fortress” and does not share the artistic
concept of the story. Alexander Orbeliani does not consider it right to
criticize the nobility as a separate social stratum. According to him,
the writer should be interested in more general, ethical problems.
It is noteworthy that Alexander Orbeliani notices the emergence
of two main currents in Georgian public thought, the birth of two
groups, which he conventionally calls “conservatives and progressives.”
The critic considers this event as a completely lawful and welcome
fact.
The fate of the Georgian language, its present and future was
one of the main thoughts of Alexander Orbeliani. In his letter “A Few
Words on Divorce Comedy”, Alexander Orbeliani questions Platon
Ioseliani’s views on Giorgi Eristavi’s linguistic innovation. Orbeliani
points out that it is impossible to generalize the language of Giorgi
Eristavi’s comedies in all spheres of written speech, as it is suitable
for works of the comedy genre and in no case can it claim a common
literary language. At the same time, the critic acknowledges the need
for a unified literary language.
Alexander Orbeliani is one of the most prominent figures in
Georgian literature of the 1850s, and together with Nikoloz Berdznishvili
and Mikheil Tumanishvili, he stands at the forefront of
nineteenth-century Georgian literary criticism.
