Georgian Baroque Tendencies and Besarion Gabashvili’s Poetry

Summary/Abstract: The study aims to analyse Georgian literature from the 16th to 18th centuries in comparison with contemporary European literary tendencies using modern literary methodologies. The 16th to 18th centuries were a crucial and special period in European art as this period is characterised by significant discoveries during the scientific revolution, leading to the disappearance of established aesthetic principles and the emergence of new ways of artistic expression. Baroque, encompassing architecture, sculpture, music, painting, theatre, and literature, was a cultural and art movement that reflected a reaction against humanism and the Renaissance. The movement emphasized dramatic, eclectic, and dynamic motion. Baroque is one of the most significant period of the development of European culture as it laid the foundation of the principles of modernism. Modernism itself is often mentioned as Neo-baroque in literary criticism. In Georgian literary studies, the term “Georgian Baroque” was first mentioned in the 1970s by Giorgi Gachechiladze, who identified Baroque tendencies in Georgian literature.
