REFLECTIONS OF ABDULHAK HAMID TARHAN'S PARIS LIFE ON HIS POETRY BOOK DIVANELIKLERIM YAHUT BELDE

Modernization period Turkish literature is the result of an orientation that dates back to the eighteenth century and started to give its mature works in the field of literature in the nineteenth century. With the strengthening of attention towards the European world of thought and aesthetic values day by day, the Ottoman artist also tried to apply the innovation experiments that started with translation activities and imitation by seeking innovations in the content and form features of literary works. Abdulhak Hamid Tarhan, one of the outstanding artists in the field of Tanzimat literature, is among the prolific names of our literature developing under the influence of the West, with his theater works and poems. In this article, the poems of Abdulhak Hamid Tarhan, which he gathered under the name of Divaneliklerim or Belde, have been examined. His poems, inspired by the memories of the poet, who has a passionate temperament, also from the years he was in Paris as an official, were evaluated in the axis of his other works that shed light on his temperament and life. Tarhan sought to reconstruct the formal skills and world of imagery of traditional Turkish poetry with the influence of his inspiration. The poems of the ambitious poet, guided by his ingenuity, the environment he is translated into, and the passions of developing reading, traces of delightful and delightful memories can be seen in Paris. With this study, the sources that shape the poet's temperament and the reflections of Parisian life, written with his peculiar sensory features in his poems were tried to be evaluated.
