About Nikoloz Baratashvili
Prince Nikoloz Baratashvili was a Georgian poet. He was one of the first Georgians to marry modern nationalism with European Romanticism and to introduce "Europeanism" into Georgian literature. Due to his early death, Baratashvili left a relatively small literary heritage of fewer than forty short lyrics, one extended poem, and a few private letters, but he is nevertheless considered the high point of Georgian Romanticism. He was referred to as the "Georgian Byron".
