The modernization period of the Servet-i Fünûn literary community is an important period for Turkish literature. The pressures of traditional art supporters, as well as having common sense, were also effective in bringing together the names that make up this literary community. In 1896, when the group emerged, Hüseyin Cahit Yalçın had just graduated from Mülkiye. The author, whose first pen experiences were published in some literary journals before Servet-i Fünûn, was primarily a story writer in the writer's staff of the aforementioned journal. After the first stories he published, his works of criticism began to appear in the columns of "Musâhabe-i Edebiyye", "Hayat-ı Matbûat" and "Numûne-i Tenkit". It is understood that he was under the influence of the modern French criticism style in these works. It is seen that he tried to draw attention to the literary movement of symbolism in his writings published between the numbers 539-542 under the title "Musâhabe-i Edebiyye". Related articles are quoted from George Pellisier's Le Mouvement Littéraire Contemporain. With these articles, Hüseyin Cahit Yalçın aims to introduce the information about the symbolist poets and works within the borders of French literature to the Turkish readers and artists of the period. Along with this article, the articles that Yalçın quoted from the French critic are brought to the attention of today's Turkish readers.
