Abstract

As a literary method, Romanticism firstly appeared in England, in XVII century and in a short time spread among the literature of European nations. In the XIX century it was made known in the Ottoman state by some Ottoman students and intellectuals who were sent for France. In this way the French intellectual Romanticism in national colour appeared among the Ottoman intellectuals as pro-constitution and among the intellectuals subject to Ottomans as pro-independence. When this happened in Istanbul, the capital of the Ottoman Empire, Hacî Qadirê Koyî was also in Istanbul and for the first time he represented the national Romanticism as a poet. Because of the fact that in Hacî Qadirê Koyî’s century the Kurds couldn’t reach their political aims, throughout the XX century the idea Romanticism remained lively in the Kurdish literature. Therefore, a century after Hacî Qadirê Koyî and following him as a short time, Cegerxwîn represented the national Romanticism. Although there were also some differences between them, Hacî and Cegerxwîn had an idea about all the subjects such as national idea, importance of mother tongue, reviving of national history, strengthening the feelings of patriotism, praising the idea of rationalism and evaluating scientific positivism. This shows that both the poets in the national Romanticism meet one other and in this point Cegerxwîn is a follower and inheritor of Hacî Qadirê Koyî
