A History Of Ottoman Poetry V2 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781163298244)

""A History of Ottoman Poetry V2"" by Elias J. W. Gibb is a comprehensive study of the poetry of the Ottoman Empire, spanning from the early 14th century to the end of the 19th century. The book is divided into three main sections: the classical period, the transitional period, and the modern period. In the classical period, Gibb examines the works of the great Ottoman poets such as Fuzuli, Baki, and Nedim, and provides a detailed analysis of their styles, themes, and literary techniques. He also explores the influence of Persian and Arabic poetry on Ottoman literature during this period. The transitional period, which spans from the late 17th century to the mid-18th century, is characterized by a shift in literary style and a move towards more secular themes. Gibb discusses the emergence of the ""new school"" of Ottoman poetry, which was heavily influenced by European literature, and the works of poets such as Nef'i and Sheykh Galip. In the modern period, Gibb examines the works of Ottoman poets from the mid-18th century to the end of the 19th century, including the works of Namik Kemal and Ziya Pasha. He also explores the impact of Western literature on Ottoman poetry during this period. Overall, ""A History of Ottoman Poetry V2"" is a valuable resource for anyone interested in Ottoman literature and culture, providing a detailed and comprehensive overview of the development of Ottoman poetry over six centuries.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
