Summary/Abstract: This study reviews the edited volume Lale Devri mi?, edited by Selim Karahasanoğlu and published by Vakıfbank Kültür Yayınları. The book critically reexamines the established “Tulip Era” narrative, popularized by Ahmed Refik, which portrays the period between 1718 and 1730 as an exceptional interlude characterized by pleasure, indulgence, and superficial Westernization. The review particularly focuses on the sections titled “Revisionist Studies” and “Classics,” analyzing how they challenge and reinterpret this conventional historiographical framework.
