Abstract
An Evaluation on Edirneli Şevkî Divanı and Persian Poems of Şevkî
Divans, tazkiras and history boks provides important
information to understand and interpret Ottoman Divan
Literature. In these texts prominent names in their own
periods are mostly evaluated by researchers who prepare
these texts for publication. However we may categorize
some poet/authors as second-class writers that they are
not prominently preferred by tazkira writers and we can’t
find too much information about them in these kind of
books. When examined the works of these writers it is
possible to see the perception of literature in their period.
In this review article Edirneli Şevkî Divanı which
published recently will be evaluated and will be focussed
on Şevki’s style of poetry in his period. It is also important
to introduce names like Şevkî in terms of showing up
stylistic features of folk style in their poems as seen in
Necati Bey’s style in this period. Şevkî’s style with folk
style in his poems at the same time has an aesthetic
aspect. At the end of article, there will be transcription
writing of Persian poems in Divan.
