Abstract:

With the proclamation of the II. The Constitutional Period the periodicals and newspapers, which had carried on their activities underground in the Hamidian era, came into the picture. The literary works, which were not only serialized in these periodicals and newspapers but were also published as books are about daily, worthless political and social subjects. The Fecr-i Mother Encyclopedia was established in this circumstance. It reminds people that literature was a higher level of aesthetic of perception and arguing. Initially Fecr-i Ati poets and authors were sympathizers of the Committee of Union and Progress due to the Committee's opposition to Abdulhamid. However, the assassination of the Ahmet Samim, who was a member of Fecr-i Ati Encyclopedia, had a negative impact on the relations between Fecr-i Ati and the Committee of Union and Progress. In the II. The Constitutional Period, Fecr-i Ati became the target of various groups due to their innovative views on literature. Hilal Newspaper, where the Fecr-i Ati poets and authors gathered, was raided. Whereas, they wanted to stay away from the political chaos of the period. Fecr-i Ati Encümeni represented the II. Constitutional Period Literature with twenty-four poets and authors alone. These authors and poets became significant names of the National Literature and Turkish Literature of the Republican Era.
