FORMATIVE PRINCIPLES IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF UZBEK PROSE

Abstract

The formation and development of prose in the history of Uzbek literature is one of the most important stages of the literary process. Its genesis - emergence, developmental stages, and improvement in form and content - is a multifaceted process. While poetry creation reached great heights in one era of literature, in subsequent periods it became clear that merely describing emotional experiences was insufficient to reflect changes in society, culture, and education in the literary world. It was at this time that the importance of prose works increased significantly. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, in connection with the Jadid movement, the educational and spiritual functions of prose expanded, and new methodological principles based on realistic depiction were formed. After independence, psychological analysis, modernist explorations, and societal changes began to be artistically reflected in prose. The purpose of this article is to scientifically analyze the main principles of the formation of Uzbek prose genesis and to reveal its connections with classical and modern literature.
