Tatar literature is a part of Tatar society and has been part of Tatar history since the existence of a Tatar state.[1] Many famous Tatar poets may include Kasim Bikkulov, Ğabdulla Tuqay, and Näqi İsänbät.

History

Tatar literature started nearly one thousand years ago. The most famous piece of Tatar literature is The Story of Yusuf by Kyssa'i Yusuf.[2] Grammar of the Tatar literary language was different than standard Tatar as it had more Persian, Arabic, and Old Turkic words and during the Russian invasion of Tatarstan and occupation, Tatar poets still used the Arabic script even though it was banned as the Russians banned it.[3] Tatars also used literature for their religion, Islam.[4] In the 18th century, Kazakh poet, Abay Kunanbayev wrote many poems in Tatar.[5] Tatar literature started to become popular during the 20th century and throughout the Soviet era especially during the Space Race.[6] The city of Kazan was most famous for it's literature because of Musa Dzhalil, a poet who did literature in both Tatar and Russian.[7]

Modern Day

The government of Tatarstan established a organization for Tatar literature called the Department of Tatar Literature.[8]
