5.0 out of 5 stars OTTOMAN MYSTIC ROMANCE, April 23, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: The Unreadable Shores of Love: Turkish Modernity and Mystic Romance (Paperback)
The book tries to understand the interactions between orientalism and national philology ưn the context of Ottoman literature. It is an attempt of constructing the poetics of Ottoman Turkish mystic romance. While it traces the polemics of orientalist philology and Turkish Republic,which try to repress the Ottoman literary past it also describes "Husn u Ask(Beauty and Love)" of Sheyh Galip which is the summit of the Ottoman literature. The book is one of the first examples of the post-orientalist philology. There is a book which is similar to this book: Walter Andrews's Poetry's Voice Society's song: The Ottoman Lyric Poetry.
