As being one of the most important political entities that the world history has ever seen, the Ottoman Empire has drawn the attention of many scholars. The political history of the classical age has been one of the leading sub-fields of Ottoman history, which attracted the concern of researchers. The foundation of Ottoman State and the its fast expansion over a vast geography in a relatively short period of time, made scholars, not only Turkish but also international, to focus on these subjects. Therefore, there have recently been many publications on these issues. This article examines the literature that has been produced in the Republican Period in chronological order and includes also a bibliography on Ottoman classical history.
