In this course, we will survey the evolution of the Turkish Novel, tracing its development from the late 19th-century Ottoman modernization through the early 20th-century Republican era to its contemporary forms. Our exploration will encompass various dimensions of the Turkish novel, including its emergence and popularity as a literary form, periodization, and canonical works. We'll examine a diverse range of subgenres such as allegorical, feminist, historical, political, republican, nature, and modernist novels, following a chronological trajectory, and delve into its aesthetic, ideological, and social aspects. Discussions will be conducted in English, and students will have the option to read the primary sources in Turkish or English.
