Hardback. Condition: New. Volume VI of E.J.W. Gibb's classic study of Ottoman Poetry - here reissued with a new foreword by Christine Woodhead - contains the original Turkish of poems translated by Gibb in volumes I-V.Gibb's History of Ottoman Poetry, first published in six volumes between 1900 to 1909, provided the first extended account in English of Ottoman Turkish literature. Based on an impressively wide reading of over five centuries of Ottoman classical poetry and of literary critical works produced by Ottoman commentators, it conveyed not only fascinating information but also a deeply informed understanding of the cultural world of educated Ottomans. Gibb selected and analysed epic poems, religious verse, romances, panegyrics and, above all, lyric poetry. He examined the biographies and social contexts of poets, and he prefaced his work with a much-admired introductory account of Ottoman mysticism and religious philosophy. He included throughout the volumes a wealth of explanatory notes designed to help 'the ordinary English reader' appreciate this little-known culture. The History is a classic work which remains a valued introduction to its subject.This volume is part of a six-volume set. Volumes I-IV focus purely on poetry and poets, while Volume V includes additionally 100 pages of indices to the volumes, prepared by Reynold A. Nicholson. Volume VI, the final volume, comprises the Ottoman text of poems included in the preceding volumes.…
