Space in a literary work has diverse functions and takes on different meanings beyond simply designating the setting of action. In addition, space assumes further significance in a given work, with its social, cultural and economic dimensions. Therefore, meanings attributed to space in social life, besides the imperatives and possibilities brought into textual analysis by literary theory and tradition, are influential in the choice and expression of space. Tanzimat (Reformation) period holds an important place in the history of Turkish history and literature, as it signifies an era marked by the onset of Westernization movement. This period reflects an acquaintance with a different perspective in terms of literary theory, as well as the emergence of a different social, political and cultural environment.
