E. J. W. Gibb - 2013
This volume, part of E.J.W. Gibb's seminal work on Ottoman Turkish literature, focuses on the poets of the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. It examines a period of transition where Persian literary influences began to wane, giving way to more distinctly Turkish poetic styles. Gibb viewed this era as a bridge between the classical age and the emerging modern school of poetry. The volume explores the interplay between Romanticism, characterized by local color, and the lingering Persianate traditions.
