The stages of search of the Azerbaijani free verse and Nazim Hikmat’s creativity

Abstract

This article deals with the analysis of the new formation stage of the free verse and the
works of the representatives of this new movement within the 20s. It is proved that the initial stage
of search of the free verse coincided with 20th years, but not 30s and its first representatives were
I.Hikmat, A.Nazim and N.Hikmat. Despite I.Hikmat and A.Nazim engaged more in literary
criticism later, N.Hikmat stood on guard of the free verse till the end. The article refers on the ideas
contained in that period’s literary press, as well as on the literary-theoretical thought. And referring
on the articles of B.Chobanzade, H.Mehdi and A.Nazim, the author appreciates the initial stage of
search of the free verse.
