Abstract

This article examines the peculiarities of the formation and development of the satire genre in the Lankaran literary environment of the 19th-20th centuries. Satire, as an effective means of reflecting social phenomena and exposing social injustice, has gained a wide place in the creative practice of writers in the region. In the literary legacy, the harsh everyday situations of the population, the consequences of social inequality, images of hypocritical religious figures, and unfair juries were criticized in an action-packed language; the public image of that era was vividly expressed. Several historical and cultural factors contributed to the development of the satire genre in the region. First of all, later written literature was based on the rich folklore heritage of the Lenkoran region – folk traditions that often employed ridicule and harsh criticism. In addition, the region's place as a religious and spiritual center and the formation of the local intelligentsia gave an additional impetus to literary development. The widespread dissemination of Enlightenment ideas, the fight against ignorance, and the strengthening of enlightenment have reinforced the educational and social significance of satire. In this regard, the genre of satire in the Lankaran literary environment of Azerbaijan was not only used for artistic and aesthetic purposes but also served a special function in shaping public opinion, exposing social injustice, and awakening the spiritual consciousness of the people. As a result of the research, it was found that this genre reveals the specific features of the literary development of the region and allows for a deeper understanding of the place and significance in the history of national literature.
