Abstract

This article analyses J. W. Redhouse’s article “On the History, System and Varieties of Turkish Poetry” (1879), the first comprehensive work on Ottoman poetry in the West after the works of Josef von Hammer-Purgstall’s Geschichte der Osmanischen Dichtkunst (1836–8), M. Servan de Sugny’s La Muse Ottomane (1853) and Dora d'Istria’s La poésie des Ottomans (1877). Redhouse’s ar- ticle responded to the negative representation of Turks who were portrayed as “barbarians” by certain writers of his time. Redhouse aims to change these negative perceptions of Turks and thereby puts forward the first critical study on the historiography of Ottoman poetry. In this piece, I examine the context and discourse of Redhouse’s “Turkish Poetry”. I will also examine the main motivations of the Western literary corpus on Ottoman literature and the contribution of Redhouse’s article to this corpus.

Özet

Bu çalışma, J. W. Redhouse’un “On the History, System andVarieties of Turkish Poetry” (1879) başlıklı makalesini tartış-maya açmaktadır. Bu makale, Josef von Hammer-Purgstall’ınGeschichte der Osmanischen Dichtkunst (1836–8), M. Servande Sugny’nin La Muse Ottomane (1853) ve Dora d'Istria’nınLa poésie des Ottomans (1877) adlı çalışmalarından sonraBatı’da Osmanlı şiirini müstakil olarak ele alan ilk makaledir.Redhouse’un bu makalesi, o dönemde Batı’daki “barbar Türk”imajına bir tepki olarak kaleme alınmıştır. Redhouse, “TurkishPoetry” ile Türklere karşı oluşturulan bu olumsuz algıyı yık-maya çalışırken bir yandan da Osmanlı şiirinin tarihselliğinikonu edinen ilk eleştirel çalışmayı ortaya koymuştur. Redho-use’un “Turkish Poetry” başlıklı makalesinin içeriğinin,söyleminin ve Osmanlı edebiyat tarihi yazınındaki yerinin ana-liz edileceği bu makalede, Batı’daki Osmanlı edebiyatıliteratürünün nasıl bir motivasyonla üretildiği ve Redhouse’unmakalesinin bu literatüre nasıl bir katkı sağladığı ortaya konul-muştur.
