A Comparative Evaluation Between Tevfik Fikret and Abbas Sıhhat’s Works in Respect to Children’s Poetry
Journal Title: Türk Dünyası Dil ve Edebiyat Dergisi - Year 2020, Vol 1, Issue 49
Abstract
Turkish literature and Azerbaijani literature have gone through similar developmental stages with the effect of similar political, social and cultural developments experienced in similar periods. As it is known, both the “awareness of social responsibility” and the concept of “art for society” brought new perspectives to the literary world in both fields starting from the last quarter of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century. Through these perspectives another field of study, namely as “Children’s Literature”, brought to the world of literature, covering a wide range from politics to cultural and economic developments. Abbas Sıhhat is one of the pioneers of children’s literature in Azerbaijani literature. In our literature, Tevfik Fikret has a distinct value in terms of having the first competent studies on this subject. It should also be noted that Fikret is also an inspiration to many poets, including Abbas Sıhhat, along with his significant contributions to the development of Azerbaijani children’s literature. These two names, who had the first steps in the field of children’s literature in their own fields, showed a similar approach in their studies. This process, which manifests itself as a transition from individual, or semi-social themes to political issues, is also characteristic of the unity of purpose and instrument. In this study, the poems of both Tevfik Fikret and Abbas Sıhhat will be evaluated separately within the scope of children’s literature and then thematic elements will be examined in terms of both perception and treatment followed by style and language examples with cause and effect relationship.
