The twenty two essays collected in Turkish Language, Literature and
History offer insights into Turkish culture in the widest sense.
Written by leaders in their fields from North America, Europe and
Turkey, these essays cover a broad range of topics, focusing on
various aspects of Turkish language, literature and history between
the eighth century and the present. The chapters move between
ancient and contemporary literature, exploring Sultan Selim's
interest in dream interpretation, translating newly uncovered
poetry and exploring the works of Orhan Pamuk. Linguistic
complexities of the Turkish language and dialects are analysed,
while new translations of 16th century decrees offer insight into
Ottoman justice and power. This is a festschrift volume published
for the leading scholar Bob Dankoff, and the diverse topics covered
in these essays reflect Dankoff's valuable contributions to the
study of Turkish language and literature. This cross-disciplinary
book offers contributions from academics specialising in
linguistics, history, literature and sociology, amongst others. As
such, it is of key interest to scholars working in a variety of
disciplines, with a focus on Turkish Studies.
