Popular novels in
Turkish literature were often despised because of their lack of literary value,
and although they were widely read novels, they were ignored in academia. Today
this prejudice is gradually being broken, and popular novels have also been
studied from various perspectives. In Tanzimat and Meşrutiyet periods when
literacy rate is low, popular novels have increased the literacy rate. In
addition, evoking the historical values and hereby giving actual messages,
historical popular novels played an important role in the awakening of national
consciousness. National tendency in society has become the basic ideology of
the Republic of Turkey. Popular historical novels serve to establish national
values hereupon. Murat Sertoğlu, one of the popular historical novelists, has
this aim in his novels. In this study, the place of Murat Sertoğlu in popular
literature will be examined.
