A Critical Look at Turkish Literature

The step taken by Berna Moran has an important place in eliminating one of the biggest shortcomings of universities and academic life in Turkey, which is that Turkish literature departments and Western literature departments do not know each other and cannot benefit from each other. It should be particularly emphasized that Berna Moran, who focuses on Turkish literature with her deep knowledge and culture of Western literature, is one of the literary researchers who try to eliminate this gap in Turkish literary criticism.

We lost this valuable literary researcher and critic in 1993, who gave a breath of fresh air to Turkish literary criticism and made a great contribution to seeing literary criticism as a scientific field of endeavor. This book was also written by Bülent Aksoy and Nazan Aksoy, who prepared the book for publication; It consists of the "gifts" given by Murat Belge, Dilek Doltaş, Fethi Naci, Ahmet Oktay, Fatih Özgüven, Orhan Pamuk, Jale Parla, Sâra Sayın, Hilmi Yavuz and Aysegül Yüksel to this valuable man of literature on the fourth year of his death. The framework of the articles brought together in the book is drawn by the words "A Critical View of Turkish Literature", the subtitle of the book, which is a reference to the name and content of Berna Moran's three-volume study.

We hope that the book you have in your hand will be a meaningful product that can show that the comprehensive and multi-faceted approach to criticism that Berna Moran has successfully implemented is continued with new studies.
