Abdülhak Hâmid Tarhan is among the second wave writers
of Tanzimat literature which became more modern with the impact of Western
civilization in 19th century. There are two major arts in the basis
of Tarhan’s writing life. Abdülhak Hâmid Tarhan
held many offices abroad with a diplomat title. He also found the opportunity
to get closely acquainted with the literature of the country in the places he
held office and reflected these novelties into his own art, especially
influenced by the Western literature. Following some of the Turkish writers
like Şinasi and Namık Kemal, who took example from French literature in
Tanzimat era, Tarhan got more closely acquainted with French literature by
residing in France during his childhood and in the later years. This experience
affected his literary identity and caused him to create works that carry French
impressions.
