| Goals | This course aims to offer a comprehensive introduction to Old Turkish Literature, to convey foundational knowledge of literary history, and to explore the early period (11th–12th centuries) of Old Turkish Literature. |
| Course Content | This course comprehensively examines the period from the beginnings of Turkish literature to the first works influenced by Islam. Starting with the pre-Islamic oral and written traditions, the content focuses on the four foundational works of Karakhanid Turkish literature (Kutadgu Bilig, Dîvânü Lügati’t-Türk, Atebetü’l-Hakâyık, Dîvân-ı Hikmet) and the initial manifestations of Sufi thought in literature. Throughout the course, linguistic, stylistic, and ideological analyses are conducted through these key texts. |
