Abstract

At the beginning of the 20th century, folklore traditions in Azerbaijani poetry attract more attention in terms of form, form and genre. In the activities of different artists, there are examples written using the forms of folk poetry. In the aforementioned period, the main activity direction of literature, educational realist, criticism realist and romantic inclined poetry, in relation to tradition, has basically started from the issue of genre. In this sense, genre issues stand in the first place on the basis of applying folklore traditions in poetry and making use of them productively. The examination of Azerbaijani poetry in terms of genre characteristics at the beginning of the 20th century clearly shows that the formation of poetry examples in new forms in this period was not only formed by the topic, content and problem being up-to-date and based on tradition, but also gained originality in the search for new literary genres and genres. Compared to other literary genres, poetry is significantly distinguished by its diversity in genre and shape differences. This is due to the fact that poetry in Azerbaijani literature, as in the whole Turkish world, is based on older roots, unlike certain literary genres, and has its own poetic tones in terms of form and form. Explaining and solving the problem in the context of the literary heritage of important artists of Azerbaijani poetry such as Abbas Sahhat, Hüseyin Javid, Ahmet Cavat allows to reveal some important issues about folklore sources and traditions and to reach necessary conclusions. In the activities of these poets, the presence of works written in the forms of folk poetry such as song, folk song, tune, Kosma, tecnis, gerayli, and mani, together with examples of divan literature, can be interpreted as the manifestation of the diversity of forms and genres of their arts. The wide range of genres and diversity in poems, along with the originality of subject, content and form, is primarily due to the rich traditions of folklore and classical written literature. In general, the intensification of reference to folklore motifs and forms in Azerbaijani literature at the beginning of the 20th century is characterized as the social demand of the period. At the same time, the important influence of educational realism, one of the leading movements of the period, should not be forgotten. It is noteworthy that in the works that are directly derived from folklore poetry, wide opportunities are provided for the fluent and clear expression of ideas and thoughts, and for language and stylistic diversity.
