The early modern Ottoman poet Mihri Hatun (1460-1515) succeeded in
drawing an admiring audience and considerable renown during a time
when few women were accepted into the male-dominated intellectual
circles. Her poetry collection is among the earliest bodies of
women's writing in the Middle East and Islamicate literature,
providing an exceptional vantage point on intellectual history.
With this volume, Havliog?lu not only gives readers access to this
rare text but also investigates the factors that allowed Hatun to
survive and thrive despite her clear departure from the cultural
norms of the time. Placing the poet in the context of her era and
environment, Havliog?lu finds that the poet's dramatic, masterful
performance and subversiveness are the very reasons for her
endurance and acclaim in intellectual history. Hatun performed in a
way that embraced her marginal position as a woman and leveraged it
to her advantage. Havliog?lu's astute and nuanced portrait gives
readers a fascinating glimpse into the life of a woman poet in a
highly gendered society and suggests that women have been part of
intellectual history long before the modern period.
