შუასაუკუნეების რაინდული რომანი და ვეფხისტყაოსანი

Аннотация

The Knight in the Panther’s Skin written by Shota Rustaveli in the late Middle Ages belongs to a chivalry romance from the standpoint of genre. The structural and compositional organization of the text, its political and ideological background and compositional elements display enough resemblance with the European authors of chivalry romances. In spite of this, it should be mentioned that The Knight in the Panther’s Skin is not a typical specimen of medieval chivalry (courtly) romance. A number of specific features are found in the composition which indicates a far higher level of genre development.
