Muallim Naci

Muallim Naci (), literally "Naci The Teacher" (b. 1850 – d. 12 April 1893), was an Ottoman writer, poet, educator and literary critic.

He lived during the reform-oriented Tanzimat period of the Ottoman Empire and advocated modernization without breaking ties with the old. He contributed in criticisms about both the prose and the poetry, and acquired a special place in Turkish literature and society by studying problems and providing ideas that would affect the Turkish people. His work ''Lugat-i Nâcî'', an Ottoman Turkish dictionary, is of major importance. Provided by Wikipedia
