SONNET WREATH’S EVOLUTION IN ADYGHE LITERATURE: AESTHETICS OF POETICS

The article is devoted to the study of a wreath of sonnets in Adyghe literature with an emphasis on the aesthetics of poetics of works written in the specified genre form. Moreover, the combination of “aesthetics of poetics” is not formal in this context, since in the construction of a wreath of sonnets great importance is given to structural organization – the construction of a model of a poetic work consisting of a certain number (fifteen) sonnets and lines (two hundred and ten) correlating with each other within strict canons of the genre, according to which the final line of one sonnet serves as the beginning of the next, and the fifteenth (final) sonnet, called the "trunk" (or "main sonnet"), represents bout a work consisting of the initial lines of the previous fourteen sonnets. Mastering such a complex genre form was accompanied by certain difficulties. In this article, the problems of the genesis and formation of the sonnet and its evolution to the genre form of a wreath of sonnets in the Adyghe literature are revealed. Here, for the first time, a comprehensive study of a wreath of sonnets is conducted in national (Kabardian, Circassian, Adyghe) literature. The main attention of the author is paid to both compositional and substantial features of the wreaths of sonnets of Adyghe writers. In particular, wreaths of sonnets of Circassian and Kabardian authors are subjected to a detailed analysis: “Faithful to love” of Mukhadin Bemurzov, “Wind” and “Echo of melody” of Mugaz Keshtov, “Broad-chested wind” of Tolya Kamergoyev. As a result of the study, the features of poetics of the most complex composition and, therefore, difficult to master the genre form – a wreath of sonnets were revealed. The study involved the method of structural analysis. In particular, the metric-rhyme complex of works created in the studied genre form was studied. The topics and problems of sonnet wreaths, the correspondence of architectonics, sonnets forming a wreath, and sonnet wreaths in general to the strict canons of the genre are considered separately. The results of the study can be of help to researchers of Adyghe literature, as well as in the preparation of special courses on the evolution of Adyghe poetry.
