Ankara : Türk Edebiyatı Bölümü, İhsan Doğramacı Bilkent Üniversity, 2014.Thesis (Master's) -- Bilkent University, 2014.Includes bibliographical references leaves 98-103.Bâbur,who was a Timurid descendant, lived in XV.-XVI. centuries and wrote
his life story that took place between 1494-1530, in his well known memoirs
Bâburnâme. The memoirsinclude the annual military, political and cultural
incidences of Bâbur's life.Up to the present, Bâburnâme has been worked by
historians and linguists in the academic field and it has been discussed from the point
of literature in this thesis study. In fact, the link between Bâbur and literature is very
strong and it can be understood by not only Bâbur's literary works but also the
literary works which were remarked and quoted by Bâbur. In this thesis, by
considering the adab literature in the first place, his perception of sovereignty has
been discussed by analyzing Bâbur's memoirs to understand to what extent it was
influenced from literary works and how Bâbur used and transformed that influence.
Thus, the impact of literature on the world perspective of a monarch has been
discussed and Bâburnâme has been revealed that it is not only a memoir, but also a
new genre of mirrors for princes that is based on individual experience.Akyol, ErcanM.S
