	Turkish literature - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Turkish literature is the collection of written and oral texts composed in the Turkish language, either in its Ottoman form or in less exclusively literary forms, such as that spoken in the Republic of Turkey today.
		In contrast to the tradition of Turkish folk literature, Turkish written literature—prior to the founding of the Republic of Turkey in 1923—tended to embrace the influence of Persian and Arabic literature.
		Due to historically close ties with France—strengthened during the Crimean War of 1854–1856—it was French literature that came to constitute the major Western influence on Turkish literature throughout the latter half of the 19th century.

		Ottoman Turkish was, in a sense, a very specialist variety of the Turkish language, and was not understood by the vast majority of Turkish speakers.
		Turkish literature is the collection of oral and written texts in the Turkish language, either in its Ottoman form or in less exclusively literary forms, such as that spoken in the Republic of Turkey today.
		Karamanid literature is indeed important in the development of Turkish literature, but the addition of an entire section thereupon compromises the article's clearly stated organization; namely, the part where it says that Turkish folk literature (of which Karamanid literature is a part) will be looked at "from the perspective of genre".

	Children's Literature in Turkey - 61st IFLA General Conference
		It is not easy to cover all the issues regarding a part of the literature in a country in a short paper, but generally, it is important to note that the history of literature and the social history of a country must have parallel features.
		Literature is the voice of these individuals' interpretation, their struggle to give meaning to their lives by using their ability in linguistic expression.
		The history of educative children's literature is probably related with the history of the concept of "child." The meaning of child in a society influences what is given or not given to children in that society.

	Turkish Literature (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Is one of the types of literature which is formed attributing supernatural characteristics to real and imaginary beings, places and events, which canalize the individual and social life of a person with the belief that they are told as real, and whose tellers are definite.
		Literature responded to this atmosphere and authors, whether they produced poetry or prose, increasingly focused on subjects such as social change, political issues, economic difficulties, alienation and the relations of the intellectual with his/her environment.
		The development of Turkish literature, the point it reached and the problems it faced, were brought onto the agenda; the works were evaluated with the artistic, technical and informative criteria, rather than the ideology adopted by the author.

		By far the most extensive body of literature in German is in the field of social work and deals with problems of integration, particularly of Turkish women, children and youths.
		Hence the problem focus of most of this literature: young Turkish women are forced into arranged marriages, are not allowed freedom of movement to go out at night, date or live alone; they are oppressed by the traditional Turkish patriarchal family.
		This literature deals with such topics as socialization practices, interest in obtaining German citizenship, contact with Germans and the German mass media, problems in schooling, language acquisition (of both German and Turkish) and obtaining job training.

		Up until the present Revolution in Turkey the study of Persian language was compulsory in all Turkish schools and most of the high dignitaries of Ottoman Court used to recite Persian verses of Hafiz and Sa’adi and other great poets of Iran and considered it as a sign of culture and refinement.
		One can quite assuredly state that until the end of the 19th century Farsi was still a dominant language throughout Asia and, as we have already seen, until the middle of the last century Farsi was the official language of India.

	Khaleej Times Online - Turkish literature, memory and the taboos of the past
		After all, even Mustafa Kemal, the founder of the Turkish Republic, acknowledged that the deportation and massacre of several hundred Armenians in the twilight of the Ottoman Empire was an abomination of the past, a view that would have landed him in a Turkish jail if he were alive now.
		In 1915, when the massacres of the Armenians ocurred, Mustafa Kemal was a combat general, commanding Turkish troops at Gallipolli, not a member of the wartime troika that ran the state and ordered the deportations.
		Sure, typhus and starvation killed as many Armenians in 1915 as the guns and knives of the Turkish soldiers and peasants, but it is absurd for the self-styled guardians of the Kemalist legacy almost a century later to deny the Armenian massacres, let alone prosecute the writers who break their imposed taboo.

		For centuries Turkish literature was based on Persian models, but under Suleiman the Great (1494–1566) the Golden Age began, of which the poet Fuzuli (died 1563) is the great exemplar, and continued in the following century with the great poet satirist Nef'i of Erzerum (died 1635) and others.
		In the 19th century, mainly under French influence, Turkish writers adopted Western literary forms such as the novel.
		The poet Mehmed Akif (1873–1936) was the author of the words of the Turkish national anthem; other distinguished modern writers include the novelist and satirist Refik Halit (1888–1965), the traditionalist poet Yahya Kemal (1884–1958), and the realist novelist Orhan Kemal (1914–1970).

		Perhaps the strongest attack on the New Literature writers was the one made by Ahmed Midhat in an article which he published in ªSabah,º where he referred to them as ªdecadentsº and challenged their concept of a literary language as distinct from the language of the people.
		It was for this use of the original Turkish meter, no less than his patriotism, his orientation toward the people, and his simple language, that Mehmed Emin was seen as the founder of the new nationalist school in literature.
		Once again, as in literature and language, the Turks had been guilty in the past of imitating others, especially Persians, and of neglecting their own national music which was to be found among the people.
