Özet:

Although Classical Turkish poetry, which is thought to be lack of social belonging due to the effect of Turkish literature developed following the Tanzimat, aka the Edict of Gülhane, is regarded as palace literature, it is a social poetry movement contrary to what is believed. Each poet of Divan literature expresses the knowledge of his own world with his unique style. As a result, several elements are included into the poem. These different elements in the poetry are significant in terms of revealing the diversity and wealth of our literature and social life. The terms common in classical literature about sea, ship and shipping, and the styles that centered on these terms are only a few of these. “Keştî-nâme” is regarded as a new verse style with the usage of elements related to ship, shipping and navigation in Divan poetry in 16th century. The high number of these poems written in this style and not being enough investigation yet have given rise to studying this subject. The definition of the style is made with reference to the samples of Keştî-nâme identified from this article. With reference to the texts examined, the style of Keştî-nâme is evaluated and additionally the sources belonging to this style are tried to be classified.
