Divan edebiyatı is a classical form of Turkish literature that flourished from the 13th to the 19th centuries. It is characterized by its use of Persian and Arabic influences, employing a rich vocabulary and intricate poetic forms. The poets often wrote in Ottoman Turkish, which combined elements from various languages, making it distinct from modern Turkish. The themes in divan edebiyatı often revolve around love, nature, and mysticism, reflecting the cultural and philosophical ideas of the time. Prominent poets, such as Fuzuli and Baki, contributed significantly to this literary tradition, creating works that are still studied and appreciated today.
