20th CENTURY PSYCHOLOGICAL NOVELS IN ENGLISH AND UZBEK LITERATURE 20th CENTURY PSYCHOLOGICAL NOVELS IN ENGLISH AND UZBEK LITERATURE

Аннотация

This paper highlights the development of psychological novels in the twentieth century in English and Uzbek literature. It also analyses the reasons for applying the psychological approach, the influencers like Zigmund Freud, Russian writers, and the social-political condition of that time which led people to feel dissatisfaction with social norms and principles. In England, as in all European literature, at the end of the 19th century, there was a clear tendency towards an intensive psychologization of literature. Spreading this tendency, due to subjective reasons, found a different expression in the work of individual writers. However, in all this variety of interpretations, two main paths are clearly identified - modernism and realism. In Uzbek literature, these changes occurred later, more precisely in the second half of the twentieth century thanks to the works of Uzbek notable writers. Their task included a carefully thought-out description of the human psyche, based mainly on personal experience and artistic intuition.
