In
the Classical Turkish Literature researches there is an important
need for utilization of the concepts and methods of the comparative
literature science that can contribute to national literatures.
History of Literature that considers setting out the literary
values, tastes and sensitivities in the disciplined way as a goal
had serious problems in Turkey in the very beginning. The fact
that the process that lied under the Turkish literary tradition
in Anatolia since the 13th century considered the geography and
the language as foreign and Anatolian tradition as an "imitation"
was the primary source of the problem. The researches employing
new methods on the issues that were neglected up to nowadays can
provide opportunity for different evaluations. For instance, thousands
of couplets in Persian narrating about the Turkish statesman and
their cultural values in the initial periods show that the Turks
directly participated in the literary traditions of the Khorasan
and Maveraunnehir region that developed after the adoption of
Islam. |
