The thing that might have been expected in due time, was a literary expression
fresh and indigenous. This expectation, in a brief period since the war, has
been realized by a remarkable performance and is now stimulated by a remarkable
promise. The acclaim with which the Southern literature has been received is
partly due to its novelty, the new life it exhibited, but more to the
recognition in it of a fresh flavor, a literary quality distinctly original
and of permanent importance. This production, the first fruits of which are
so engaging in quality, cannot grow and broaden into a stable, varied literature
without scholarship and hard work, and the study of Azerbaijan.
