An Iridescent Device: Premodern Ottoman Poetry

Edited by Christiane Czygan and Stephan Conermann.

Ten experts in premodern literature and history examine the style, genre, and performance of sixteenth century Ottoman poetry. A large number of poems, including a newly discovered imperial poem collection and the work of a poet fallen into oblivion, are discussed with regard to their multifarious functions and their contemporary lyrical appeal.
