Edited by Didem Havlioğlu and Zeynep Uysal and published in 2023, Routledge Handbook on Turkish Literature consists of eight thematic sections and twenty-nine articles by thirty authors. The book has literary analyses of various forms, such as oral performances from the fourteenth to the sixteenth century and modernist fiction published in the twenty-first century. As an English source of Turkish literature, the Handbook brings together articles that look at the late Ottoman and early Republican period cultural modernization processes, political and social history, publishing strategies, readership of different periods, literary criticism and translation practices, the development of the subjects and the forms of fictions, and the dialog between various texts. This volume inspires literary scholars with its rich bibliography and the thought-provoking questions that it raises.
