In The Last of an Age, Sooyong Kim explores the relationship
between social change and the development of an Ottoman literary
canon in the course of the sixteenth century by examining the work
and reception of a popular poet, Zati (1471-1546). Kim argues that
a newly emergent group of bureaucratic literati, through the
production of authoritative biographical dictionaries, ultimately
relegated Zati to a lesser literary age, driven by a
self-fashioning that privileged broad linguistic ability, above all
else, with poetry serving as the main vehicle for demonstrating
that. This study is interdisciplinary in approach, taking insights
from literary studies, cultural history, and social theory. It adds
to the scholarship on the rise of early modern Ottoman canons in
the fields of visual arts and music and complements recent work on
court patronage. Framed by ongoing critiques of canon formation
among specialists of early modern Europe and late imperial China,
the study offers a comparative perspective on those issues.
