Abstract:
The article analyzes scientific approaches to the study of the literary heritage of the national literary science
of the forties. During this period, literary criticism and literary criticism actively studied the classical heritage,
and also studied the life and work of prominent representatives of Kazakh literature. The authors study the
issues of systematization of the national heritage, in particular, the history of Kazakh literature. Special
attention is paid to the stages of studying the classical heritage, which has become significantly reinterpreted
in modern literary studies. Erroneous views on the literary process from the point of view of ideology began
to be erased. The article raises the question of studying folklore essays and epic poems that have long been
ignored by classical science.
