INTRODUCTION
Tradition and innovation are concepts in literary
studies that rely on certain theoretical principles. They
manifest in connection with all matters related to time,
movements and styles, artistry, and, overall, the vitality
and development of literature. This necessitates that
inheritance and succession in national and world
literatures remain a primary focus of research to
enable profound and truthful reflections on literature
and individual creati
vity. Particularly in today’s era of
intensified global connections, the analysis and
interpretation of contemporary works that combine

traditional, non-traditional, and modern characteristics
make this topic particularly relevant.
The adherence of contemporary Uzbek poetry to
literary traditions is especially evident in the works of
representatives of the 1960s generation. Notable
among them are Erkin Vohidov’s flawless classical
gazals and musammats in the aruz meter; Abdulla
Oripov’s collections such as
Haj Daftari and Hikmat
Sadalari, which emdiv the spirit of arba’in (forty
sayings) and Eastern wisdom traditions; and Omon
Matjon’s Qush Yo‘li, a response to the epic Lison ut
-
Tayr. These works reflect a profound connection to
literary traditions. Unlike later poets, the 1960s poets
distinctly recognized the boundary between tradition
and innovation and expressed this awareness in their
works. For instance, in Omon Matjon’s collection
Ardaxiva, poems are divided into two categories:
“Tradition” and “Non
-Tr
adition.” The “Tradition”
section includes gazal-like rhymed poems and
philosophical quatrains reminiscent of classical poetry,
while the “Non
-
Tradition” section features poems with
unconventional forms and modern poetic techniques.
Similarly, Erkin Vohido
v’s Yoshlik Devoni showcases
classical gazals and musammats, adhering flawlessly to
poetic requirements.
In this context, the poetry of the 1970s generation
demonstrates several distinctive features. These
include the dominant influence of Western poetic
traditions over classical Uzbek literature, an increased
tendency to incorporate elements of folklore, and the
emergence of works with compositional structures
similar to folk epics. A notable figure of this era is
Usmon Azim, whose work reflects the strong influence
of 20th-century literature and oral traditions over
classical forms. His collection includes a mix of ballads,
free verse, and a few classical genres like gazals,
demonstrating the coexistence of tradition and
innovation.
The poetry of the 1980s marks a period when
modernism in world literature began transitioning into
postmodernism. This era saw the broad application of
the term “modern” in literary innovation, though its
meaning varied. While “modernism” refers to a literary
movement with specific rules and principles,
“modern” denotes contemporary literary styles and
methods. In the analysis of post-1980 poetry, it
becomes clear that tradition and innovation are
inherently interconnected. Traditional poetic elements
were not preserved in their purest form but were
transformed and refined through the creativity of
poets. For example, the use of mythological concepts
as poetic tools in modern poetry, such as in the works
of Faxriyor, illustrates the integration of global and
Turkic mythologies int
o poetic forms. Faxriyor’s
poems, rich with mythological figures like Adam,
Hawa, and Icarus, display innovative approaches to
traditional
themes,
presenting
them
with
contemporary relevance and creative reinterpretation.

Moreover, the innovative use of literary devices like
metaphor, simile, and wordplay characterizes the
poetry of this period. Faxriyor’s skillful wordplay and
original similes reflect his distinct poetic ingenuity. For
instance, his creative adaptation of traditional poetic
forms and concepts into modern contexts reveals the
dynamic interplay of tradition and innovation in his
work.
By the 1990s, the poets of the 1980s generation, such
as Abduvali Qutbiddin, Shavkat Rahmon, and
Muhammad Yusuf, had reached their creative
maturity. The poetry of the independence era is
characterized by several features:
•
Traditional and innovative
: Expansion of
religious and mystical themes, renewal of Sufi symbols,
and the expression of classical national literary
features in modern Western genres.
•
Modern
: Emphasis on observation and cold
intuition, divergence from traditional poetic principles,
prioritization of intertextuality, and integration of
literature with science and art.
It is evident that contemporary literary works, which
exhibit diverse artistic features, require analysis based
on the interplay of tradition and innovation. This
approach aligns with global literary trends, as Uzbek
national literature, being an invaluable and inseparable
part of world culture, reflects all cultural, spiritual, and
intellectual transformations.
