Аннотация:Romanticism in India
Chayavad, one of the outstanding, popular till nowadays literary movements developed in India of the first half of the XX-th century, is often called Indian Romanticism. Hindi poets J. Prasad, S. Pant, S.T. Nirala and Mahadevi Varma expressed their feelings, thoughts and Romantic attitude to the World in a style which often resembled English Romantic poetry. But their Hero did not oppose to Nature, and his knowledge was not in contrast with Nature’s ignorance, because a Hero was searching for the highest truth with the help of Nature. It is an emotional poetry which shows nuances of a deep inner world of a person and harmony in relations between Nature and a Hero.
For some extend Chayavad poets were influenced by poetry of the great Bengali poet Rabindranat Tagore and English poet P.B. Shelly, but in fact these Hindi poets were original, distinguished also, and it will be demonstrated in the paper. A poem “Granthi” (Illusion) by Sumitranandan Pant will be compared with “Solov’inyj Sad” (Nightingale Garden) by Alexander Blok and some poems by P.B. Shelly like “My Soul is like an Enchanted Boat”, “Indian Serenade” and others to show specific features of Chayavad poetry. These four Hindi poets created a new poetry at the time of struggle for Indian Independence. They used different stylistic means, complicated metaphoric connection, alliteration and “music of words”, etc. and at the same time expressed the idea of freedom – let it be of an individual or the Indian nation.
