The influence of Necâtî Bey on classical Turkish poetry in the XVth and XVIth centuries

Necâtî, who lived in the XVth century, is one of the poets who contributed to the classicization of Turkish poetry. The poet, who was widely accepted with his unique style, which he built on embroidering the reflections of social life on an associative structure in his poems with parables, idioms, and expressions close to the spoken language, attracted the attention of young poets from the time he lived and literary circles were formed around him. Necâtî's unique style of poetry was mentioned with his pseudonym in the sources of the period, and "Necati style" became a definition of poetry style in classical literature. While the classical poetry of the XVth and XVIth centuries was almost completely under the influence of Necâtî, it is seen that the poets who preferred the classical style and local themes in the following centuries also followed the Necâtî style. In this thesis, especially the names were mentioned as followers of Necâtî in the biographical and historical sources, the poets who replied in kind with modeling their imitatio ghazals on the Necâtî ghazals registered as basis in the nazira collections, and the poets who reinterpret the original contents of Necâtî in their diwans, expressly in their ghazals, were being discussed and the effects of the Necâtî influence through content and style comparisons of the 15th and 16th centuries classical literature its effect on Turkish poetry has been tried to be determined. At this point, the poets' nazira attitudes such as completing Necâtî's poem, providing different expansions based on his poetry, using his poems as a writing workshop, and giving examples of tetebbu, which was a poetry practice based on imitation, draw attention. In order to determine the Necâtî's influence on the poems other than imitatios, the content elements selected from the Necâtî's Diwan has been compared with similar couplets in the diwans of many poets from the XVth and XVIth centuries. As a result of the examinations and comparisons, the nature of the Necatî's poetry style and his influence on classical Turkish poetry in the XVth and XVIth centuries are presented.
