Abstract :

Turkish literature evolving following to the Tanzimat Edict, inherently necessitates inter-discipliner studies. As artists are also statesman in this period, this relation entails the examination of interaction between literature and administrative sciences. In this context, Faik Ali Ozansoy is an important figure. Faik Ali Ozansoy seeks for divine and utopic worlds in both his art and administrative life. He is conservative and uncompromising in language and art and also in enforcement of laws and survival of state. However, the period he lived in is highly cruel for such a statesman. During his administration, Faik Ali has always come across local and central authorities as he adhered to law and his conscience instead of any person, community or party. This situation, gradually, caused to be isolated and being forgotten for Faik Ali Bey’s private life as in his literary life. This study is very important for showing how a principled and emotional poet could be what kind of a statesman.
