O'zbek Folklorini Xorijda O'rganish - Aleksandr Xodzko Asarlari: (Studying Uzbek Folklore Abroad: The Works of Alexander Khodzko)

O'zbek Folklorini Xorijda O'rganish: Aleksandr Xodzko Asarlari (Studying Uzbek Folklore Abroad: The Works of Alexander Khodzko) is a scholarly monograph that traces the early study and international promotion of Uzbek oral literature in the West. Centered on the work of English Orientalist Alexander Hodzko, the book examines his scientific contributions, literary translations, and crucial role in publishing variants of the Go'ro'g'li epic abroad. Through careful comparative analysis, the author highlights how Hodzko's translations preserved national identity while introducing Uzbek epic heritage to a global readership. The study also explores broader issues such as the ustoz-shogird tradition in folk storytelling, the relationship between prose and folklore, and recurring epic motifs in Uzbek narrative culture. This book is an important resource for researchers of folklore, translation studies, and Central Asian cultural history, offering a valuable window into the international journey of Uzbek heritage.
