Abstract

Owing to its specific features, some researchers do not regard hymnography as poetry at all. This chapter supports the opinion that hymnography is poetry that has specific features, with these making it different from secular poetry. Hymns are poetry that is created to serve the Church. Hymns are artistic texts with specific features, but it is not justified in considering them as separate from fiction. Georgian spiritual literature – hymnography – has a number of original features. Spiritual poetry and hagiography have had a direct influence on Georgian secular literature, and are an organic part of Georgian literature.
