Hussain Jawid and Kazakh poetry of early 20th century: spiritual quest and artistic features

Abstract

At the beginning of the twentieth century a number of leading writers, actively
participating in the spiritual life of the Turkic peoples, left rich literary heritage in subsequent generations.
One of them is Hussain Jawid, the Azerbaijan poet and playwright, the “East Shakespeare”. Unfortunately,
his works are unfamiliar to the Kazakh reader. The main reason for this is the systematic mismatch of
interpreting practices and the lack of scientific research on the Kazakh-Azerbaijan literary relations.

two peoples, mainly known only by classics such as Nizami Ganzhaui, Abai Kunanbayev, Myrza-Fatali
Akhundzade, should be firstly compared to the comparative-historical method. In this article, romanticism

Dulatov, S.Toraigyrov, B.Kuleev), is ideologically-artistic in that period of the development of the literature
of both countries, from the canal is proved by concrete examples
