Özet:

The court established in the years 1880-1881 to punish the suspect of the state and murder of Sultan Abdülaziz, who was dropped from the throne in 1876 and later suspectly died, is called the Star Court. Among the judges are Mithat Pasha, the Sultan Abdülaziz, who plays the role in the event of the descent of the throne, Mutercim Rüştü Pasha and Sheikhulislam Hayrullah Efendi. The judgment of those accused was sentenced to death, and the punishment of those who were guilty was sentenced to perpetual imprisonment. Mithat Pasha was sent to Taif in prison, and in 1884 he was killed by boiling. The Star Court, which shut its mark to the last period of the Ottoman State, has led the bright and artists to choose different fronts, the bright and artists located in separate camps have continued a discourse and debate. The defenders of Mithat Pasha see him as a "hero and martyr" while the opposite of Mithat Pasha suggests that he is primarily responsible for the death of Sultan Abdülaziz. Many literary discussions that are based on the "old-new literature" in the first decade, including the Decadence Munakashas, have been conducted in the shadow of this social/political atmosphere. New Turkish Literature research is important in the context of the view of how Ahmet Hamdi Tanpınar, considered as authority in the historical context, addressed the social and political events of the period, how he approached the discussions in the Star Court axis, his literary work and criticism are related to many parameters outside of himself. In this study, Ahmet Hamdi Tanpınar is investigating which of the views he adopts in the axis of Mithat Paşa and Star Court, where the opposite defence and perceptions dominate, and how these views reflect in literary historical studies.

Özet:

Sultan Abdulaziz was dethroned in 1876 and later died of suspected suicide. The court which was formed in 1880-1881 in order to punish Sultan Abdulaziz’s dethronement and murder suspects is called the Yıldız Trial. Mütercim Rüştü Pasha and Sheikh al-Islam Hayrullah Efendi who played a role in the dethronement of Sultan Abdülaziz, including Mithat Pasha, were among the defendants. As known, at the end of these trials the defendants were sentenced to death, and then the sentences of those found guilty were changed to life imprisonment. Mithat Pasha was imprisoned in Taif where he was strangled in 1884. The Yıldız Trial, which left its mark on the last period of the Ottoman Empire, led intellectuals and artists to choose different fronts, and there was a conflict and debate between intellectuals and artists in separate camps. Those who defended Mithat Pasha regarded him as a hero of liberty and a martyr while those opposed to Mithat Pasha claimed that he was responsible for Sultan Abdülaziz’s death. Many literary debates that took place on the basis of old-new literature, especially The Decadance Debate, were made in the shadow of this incident. It is important how Ahmet Hamdi Tanpınar, who is considered to be an authority in the context of the history of Modern Turkish Literature, dealt with the social and political events of the period, and how he approached the discussions on the axis of the Yıldız Trial. In this study, we will examine what point of view was adopted by Ahmet Hamdi Tanpınar related to Mithat Pasha and the Yıldız Trial and how he reflected those to his literary history examinations
