Although classical Turkish literature began to experience the hazan season in the 18th century, it continued to exist in the 19th century and even until the beginning of the 20th century. The fact that classical literature could not keep up with the developments of the period and that those who opposed change were outnumbered reduced the interest in this literature over time However, those who are still in an effort to change and those who are trying to merge tradition with modern are trying to understand the 19th century of classical Turkish poetry. they have been instrumental in its survival for a century and even later. Sofuzade Mehmed Tevfik Efendi is one of these. He has embraced and tried to continue the tradition both with his life and with his poems.
