The war literature, as a branch of war propaganda, includes literary works produced war periods with its pre and post-war period. The literature of the wars, which have serious reflections in the Turkish literature, constitutes a corpus worthy of study. At this point, there are many articles in the Turkish press in order to clarify the nature of the concept of war literature and the relationships between war and literature. As far as it can be seen, the first article on the concept of war literature was published in 1913, during the period of Balkan War. Later on, the articles continued to be published in the periods of First World War and Turkish National Struggle. Afterwards, it is understood that the debates on the war literature have revived due to the outbreak of the Second World War. At this point, the articles published in the Turkish press concerning the war literature argue about the existence- absence of a war literature branch, as well as the ideas on the characteristics of the Turkish war literature until 1941. It is also understood that the authors consider historical, social and literary backgrounds in the articles about the war literature; furthermore, the prominent names of the period suggest important opinions about how the war literature should be. Therefore, it is a necessity to introduce and examine the articles written about the concept of war literature in Turkish press in the period of 1913-1941. Thanks to the examination of the articles left on the dusty pages of the periodicals of this period, the approaches towards the role of literature on social life during war times are becoming more apparent. In this respect, the concept of war literature is emphasized in the “Giriş” section of the article. Afterwards, the articles about war literature will be summarized under different tittles according to the war periods. The section of “Sonuç” contains the findings that have been reached as a result of the articles examined.
