This study reveals the literature of Georgia to be unique among that of the former Soviet Union in its combination of quality and length of literary tradition. It charts the development of Georgian literature from the largely religious texts of the 5th century, through its golden medieval age, to the diversities of the 20th century. Special mention is made of the poets Vazha Pshavela, Galaktion Tabidze and Paolo Iashvili, as well as the novelists Konstantine Gamsakhurdia, Grigol Robakidze and Mikheil Javakhishviei.
