The article deals with the problems of studying the poetics of the Kazakh historical epic. A systematic study of the poetics of the historical epic devoted to the national liberation movement of the Kazakh people in the 16th–19th centuries and the beginning of the XX century has been considered. The objective reasons for the process of cyclization of historical songs, legends, epos, associated with the events of the socio-political reality of a nomadic society, have been clarified. The connection of typology and poetics of the Kazakh historical epic has been examined. The factor contributing to the cyclization of historical legends, songs, and epics is, first of all, the uniform time of their existence, which was expressed in the events of the plot narration. The principles of cyclization are shown in all works of the historical epic.
