After the reign of the Ottoman Empire starting in 1571, the island was ceded to Britain and placed under colonial administration. Both the British rule and the growing conflicts with the Greeks accelerated the process of identity formation of Turkish Cypriots as well as their struggle during the colonial administration. Literature became one of the most crucial instruments for the people in forming and maintaining their identity during the period of struggle growing within political and social spheres. While poets and writers dynamically influenced the people during this time, they in turn were also influenced by the conditions of this period. In their works, they depicted the conditions and circumstances of Turkish Cypriots through their eyes.
