Abstract:
An ambiguity about principles of the division into periods is
noticeable in modern literary discussion. Every dispute of this subject
begins with the verification of the fact, that history of literature
may be defined by different principles. Either, writers creative biography’s
evaluating and analyses method should be subordinated
under historical belonging, or to make a classification in accordance
with essentials of creative works legacy.
There is two ways to correct that mistake.1) to make a division
into periods only by character-ristic principle in accordance with
different modulations. A) To definite by formal-directive belonging,
for example: age of Renaissance, Romanticism, Modernism, Realism.
B) or by outstanding writers of epoch, for example: the age of Ilia,
Rustaveli, Baratashvili, Galaktion. But anyway there is certain disparity between those principles
of modulation. For example to which formal-directive module’s
subordinating is Galaktion Tabidze-Renaissance, Romanticism, Modernism,
Realism. Or he should be studied under all modules in
accordance with his universalism?
By the way also acts the principle of prioritization and opposition:
for example, how to name 19-th century’s 60-80 years time –
the age of Ilia Chavchavadze, Akaki Tsereteli, or Vaja-Pshavela, or 19-
th century’s 20-30 years time-the epoch of Galaktion Tabudze or
Konstantine Gamsakhurdia?!
Second principle is clear calendar definition: for example, 20th
century’s Georgian writings begins in 1900 year. But still remains
controversial many issues.
And finally according with world’s literary I would underline,
that in every existed reader-historical works is followed all principles
of historical chronology, though characteristic difference is submitted
with regularity.
In conclusion, it is obvious, that literary-historical definition
means attribute and chronological synthesis, limit, that literate must
follow while making definition, because both components: chronology
and attribute determinate the place of writer in literature’s
history.
