Enigun’s main argument is that the literature produced after the establishment of the Turkish republic reflects the struggles and the evolution that the nation went through. Her volumes provide readers with a basic overview of the time and period under scrutiny. Enigun discusses a vast amount of literary works including novels, poems, plays and even life-writing from the perspectives of nationalism, feminism and social transformation. Inci Enigun has penned three extensive volumes on the Turkish literature of the transition period: Cumhuriyet Donemi Turk Edebiyati, Yeni Turk Edebiyati: Tanzimattan Cumhuriyete 1839 – 1923 and Yeni Turk Edebiyati Arastirmalari. When examining Turkish literature, we witness two different approaches: a thematic one, and one that offers a more general overview of the literary body. In Turkey’s case, however, there is a gap in the existing body of literature, where a systematic approach to themes such as nationalism, feminism, social change and cultural identity can be developed further.
Literature Review The role of literature in identity formation has been a source of interest in many academic works.
