Health, Literature and Women in Twentieth-Century Turkey offers
readers fresh insight into Turkish modernity and its discourse on
health, what it excludes and how these potentialities manifest
themselves in women’s fiction to shape the imagination of the
period. Starting from the nineteenth century, health gradually
became a focal topic in relation to the future of the empire, and
later the Republic. Examining representations of health and illness
in nationalist romances, melodramas and modernist works, this book
will explore diseases such as syphilis, tuberculosis and cancer,
and their representation in the literary imagination as a tool to
discuss anxieties over cultural transformation. This book places
Turkish literature in the field of health humanities and identifies
the discourse on health as a key component in the making of the
Turkish nation-building ideology. By focusing on the place of
health and illness in canonical and non-canonised fiction, it opens
a new field in Turkish literary studies.
