Abstract
Having taken for granted that there exists a certain but nonlinear relation between
political ideology and literature, this thesis seeks to trace the early republican political
project vis a vis development of the Turkish literature. In this respect, two
fundamental dimensions of the republican ideology, modernization and nationalism
are considered; and the reflection of these two motives on the political agenda is
analyzed through both the works and the debates of period’s Turkish literary world.
Further, this thesis attempts to develop a proper theoretical framework derived from
the Post-colonial literature theory in order to have a better understanding of the
investigated case.
