Özet:

Classical Turkish poetry continued to progress on a different plane in the 19th century with the influence of the changes and fluctuations in the XVIII century and gradually began to lose its artists who worked with this understanding. The greatest opponents of this understanding of poetry whose influence continued even though its existence came to an end, in the 19th century were the artists who aimed to bring a new understanding of art. Poets who resist the new and do not intend to break with tradition for the purpose of being together and producing art, just like the literary assemblies of classical poets, they established communities and continued to write works in the style of poetry which is called old.Ukaz-ı Osmani, founded by Muallim Nâci in the newspaper Saadet after leaving Tercüman-ı Hakikat newspaper, is known as the Last Poet School of the Ottoman Empire. Hüseyin Hüsnî, who is the subject of our study, is a member of this school where the poets of tradition come together.There is limited information about Hüseyin Hüsni Efendi in the sources. The poet's work named Mecmua-i Edebiyye was published in Istanbul in 1892 at the Mahmud Bey printing house. There are poems in different verse forms such as gazel, tahmis, müseddes, kıta and rubai in the work. The poet, who has mastered the simile elements and imagination of classical poetry, has successfully used the prosody.In this study, an evaluation will be made about Hüseyin Hüsnî Efendi's membership to the Ottoman's Last Poet School, poetic style and his work Mecmua-i Edebiyye, which has not been studied before.
