E.J.W. Gibb (2013)
This volume, originally published in 1902, delves into the early classical age of Ottoman poetry between 1450 and 1520. E.J.W. Gibb considered the reign of Mehmed II (1451-81) the true genesis of Ottoman poetry, marked by an increasing Persian influence in the court's literary idiom. The work explores the verse produced during this period, contrasting it with earlier provincial styles. It highlights key poets and discusses significant poetic compositions.
