Abstract
FALIH RIFKI ATAY’S BIBLIOGRAPHY OF OLD LETTER WRITINGS
Falih Rıfkı, who is considered among the most productive writers of Turkish literature, take part in many periodicals as leader writer and privilege holder. He sends articles to various magazines and newspapers as a guest writer. As a result of the alphabet change in the first years of the Republic of Turkiye, Atay’s writing career, like many other names, is divided into two: old and new alphabet writing processes. While the author gives examples in almost every type of literature, he does not compile most of them into a book. For this reason, the majority of his literary writings with a highly fictional aspect remain in old lettered periodicals. In addition, many of the artist’s writings that will contribute to his life story are included in his writings from this period. Since his writings are neglected in many studies, the artist is generally evaluated as one-dimensional. And many of the criticisms about him are mistaken. Therefore, it is important to present the author’s old written writings, which constitute a significant amount, in their entirety. In this study, general information will be given about Falih Rıfkı Atay’s old lettered writings written in various newspapers, magazines and private collections, the relevant writings will be classified according to various literary genres and periodicals, and statistical information about the writings will be presented. In this way, the early periods and direction of Falih Rıfkı’s writing career will be evaluated. Finally, a bibliography of the author’s old lettered writings will be added at the end of the study to be useful to researchers.
