A STUDY OF NOVEL READING IN MUHÂDARÂT
Öz
This study examines the impact of novel reading to understand how literacy shaped cultural norms, considering the institutions that promoted reading in late Ottoman society. As opportunities for women's education expanded and the Ottoman elite's awareness of its importance grew, a larger female readership emerged. This shift brought both an increased literary presence for women and concerns about the influence of novel-reading on women. In this article, I aim to explore how novel reading was viewed in late Ottoman society and the role that fictional portrayals of women readers played in both reinforcing and challenging perceptions of novel reading. First, the perception of women’s engagement with novels in the late nineteenth-century Ottoman Empire is examined. Next, how Fatma Aliye Hanım addresses concerns about women reading novels in Muhâdarât (1891) is discussed. Muhâdarât is the first text written by a female writer that openly engages with the perception of the dangerous effects of reading, particularly novel reading, on women. It is argued that, by providing positive fictional representations of the woman reader, Muhâdarât encodes women’s education and the reading of novels as means of empowerment.
