After centuries of spiritual and poetic expression, Georgia entered a new literary era in the 19th and early 20th centuries. This period became a golden age of national awakening. It gave rise to voices that shaped Georgia’s modern identity—Ilia Chavchavadze, Akaki Tsereteli, Vazha-Pshavela, and Galaktion Tabidze.

Their works were more than art. They were tools of resistance, reflection, and cultural renewal.
In this era, literature was no longer just art—it was resistance, revival, and revelation.
