The Genesis and Gradual Development of Religious-Enlightenment Motifs in Uzbek Prose

Abstract

This article scientifically analyzes the role of religious-enlightenment motifs in the stage of formation and development of Uzbek literature, particularly prose, their genesis, and the stages of their historical-gradual improvement. In the study, beginning with our classical prose heritage, the religious-enlightenment and moral concepts in Uzbek prose from the Jadid period to the end of the twentieth century are highlighted through the prism of poetic transformation. The specific features of referring to religious-enlightenment motifs in each literary period are explained on the example of concrete works.
