The features of “Divan” by Mirza Muslum Gudsi Iravani

Abstract

The divan literature is one of the many important part of Azerbaijani literature. Although many separate divans have been studied, unfortunately, no comprehensive research has been published on divan literature as a whole so far.

Another problem is that many samples of divan literature have not been published yet. From this point of view, the divans written in the literary environment of the 19th century of Yerevan, which is a political and strategic region for us, are not an exception.

The goal of this article is to provide information about divan literature and Mirza Muslum Gudsi Iravani’s “Divan”. As a result of the research, it is emphasized that the study of lives and works of artists not included in the literature and cultural history of Azerbaijan, especially 19th century Yerevan, for subjective reasons, and their inclusion in the literature and cultural history of Azerbaijan is one of the urgent tasks of our literary criticism, especially oriental studies.
