Divan Literature Issues in the work of Abdulbagi Golpinarli

Abstract

The article deals with the research activity of an outstanding literary historian and the Azerbaijani author of some original works, Abdulbagi Golpinarli. He wrote the numerous works on the divan literature of the 15th-20th centuries and its prominent representatives that can be called a special stage in his multifaceted activity. The scientists' five books on this topic written in 1950-1955 are considered a positive event in literary studies. He was the first literary scientist who criticized extensive research based on deep scientific analyzes of divan-style literature. The main points were analyzed by the author as a real researcher, contributing the original opinions of the 1950s of the beginning of the XX century, and explaining the characteristics of the real nature of divan work. It is noted that divan literature was revived with the researches by A.Golpinarli and the works of divan poets were presented as serious research to the scientific community in Turkey. In Azerbaijan, researches about his scientific activity have not been conducted until now, and no attitude has been expressed about his systematic and numerous studies related to divan literature. In this sense, the presented article can be considered relevant in terms of studying the development dynamics of divan literature, the idea-artistic features of A.Golpinarli's works on divan literature, and making scientific-theoretical generalizations about his multifaceted creativity.
