Social essence of Mehmet Akif Ersoy’s poetry

Abstract

This article is about the poetry of Turkish poet Mehmet Akif Ersoy and the islamism movement. Mehmet Akif Ersoy is best known for his work entitled Safahat. This volume is a collection of 44 poems of various lengths by Mehmet Akif Ersoy. The earliest work that appears in this book is dated 1904, but this is unattested, and it is highly likely that the poet, who was 32 on that particular date, composed poems prior to that date. He was the foremost representative of Islamism, which was one of the movements that followed the declaration of constitutional monarchy. Because of his dedication to his principles, his honesty, and because he practiced what he preached, he was distinguished among the intellectuals and poets of his time. Just like his contemporaries, he had abundant knowledge concerning traditional eastern literature. In addition, during the years he was studying at Veterinary school, he enjoyed reading the works of authors such as Victor Hugo, Alphonse de Lamartine, Emile Zola, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau.
