Georgian literary critic about works of Shio Aragvispireli

Abstract

Shio Aragvispireli’s first work “Memory” was published in 1890 in journal “Jejili”. Young writer gained readers’ love in a few years. It is obvious, that Georgian literary critics noticed his appearance in Georgian writer’s arena: Ak. Tsereteli, K. Abashidze, T. Tabidze and others saw future of Georgian literature in Shio Aragvispireli’s works. Though, as it was expected, his works were not only praised, but hardly criticized as well. We think, that together with positive reviews, it is no less important to analyze negative reviews as well, so that we will be able to objectively show Georgian critics’ opinion about Shio Aragvispireli’s works.
