Edirneli Şevkî’nin Şair Anlayışı
Edirneli Şevkî's Understanding of Poet

Summary/Abstract: There is not any work focusing on only Divan Literature's sense of poetry and sense of literature, in a word its poetics. Poets of Divan Literature interspersed their evaluations of their own and other poets' poesy among the preamble of their 'divan' or the couplets of poems in divan. Therefore, 'Divan'[s] of poets are among the important sources referred by Tezkire authors and today's literature historians. Poets, who expressed their thoughts about poem and the poet in their works, wrote 'Nazire'[s] to poems of poets they appreciated, while they satirized the ones they did not. In this study, 17th century poet, Edirneli Şevki's thoughts about his own poems and poesy have been tried to ascertain on the basis of the “eulogy” parts of his qasides.
