This book is an invitation to rethink our understanding of Turkish
literature as a tale of two "others." The first part of the book
examines the contributions of non-Muslim authors, the "others" of
modern Turkey, to the development of Turkish literature during the
late Ottoman and early republican period, focusing on the works of
largely forgotten authors. The second part discusses Turkey as the
"other" of the West and the way authors writing in Turkish
challenged orientalist representations. Thus this book prepares the
ground for a history of literature which uncouples language and
religion and recreates the spaces of dialogue and exchange that
have existed in late Ottoman Turkey between members of various
ethno-religious communities.
