Özet:

 Victor Hugos Cromwell and Namık Kemals Muqaddıq of Celaleddın Harzemshah are the two most important representatives and masterpieces of the romantic theatre genre that unite the two authors. These two works, written in the context of two distinct languages and cultures, were for different target audiences. Hugos understanding of art, which transcends the borders of the lands where he was born, has inspired many writers. One of these writers is Namık Kemal. These two works are re-examined through the lens of the concept of rewriting in translation studies, offering new insights into the analysis of the works. Accordingly, this study aims to shed light on Namık Kemals construction of an entirely new work by moving the source work to a new cultural and historical context, comparing the two works regarding the themes in their forewords. This research, which provides an in-depth analysis of both the authors understanding of art and their approaches to theatre, can be considered essential because it deals with the works within the framework of an intertextual relationship. Both authors put forward crucial themes in the preface of their works that align with the principles of art, literature, and romanticism. These themes are romantic theatre against classical theatre, creativityfreedom, and perception of historysociety. It is concluded that Namık Kemal drew inspiration from Victor Hugo regarding his artistic positioning; however, he adapted work to align with the objective of building a new identity in the Ottoman Empire, revising his work to reflect his own historical, social, and cultural values.

 Victor Hugonun 1827 yılında yazdığı Cromwell başlıklı eseri ile Namık Kemalin 1897 tarihli Celaleddin Harzemşah eseri iki yazarı bir araya getiren romantik tiyatro türünün en önemli iki temsilcisi ve başyapıtıdır. İki farklı yazarın iki farklı dil ve kültür bağlamında oluşturduğu bu iki eser farklı erek okurlar için kaleme alınmıştır. Hugonun doğduğu toprakların sınırlarını aşan sanat anlayışı, birçok yazara esin kaynağı olmuştur. Bu yazarlardan biri de Namık Kemaldir. Bu çalışmada bu iki eserin çeviribilim alanında önemli bir kavram olan yeniden yazım olgusu ile bir araya getirilmesi, söz konusu yazarlar üzerine yapılan araştırmalara farklı bir bakış açısı sunmaktadır. Çalışmada, Namık Kemalin kaynak eseri yeni bir kültürel ve tarihsel bağlama taşıyarak tamamen yeniden bir eser yaratma sürecine ışık tutmak ve bu süreçte iki eseri ön sözlerinde yer alan temalar özelinde karşılaştırmak amaçlanmıştır. Yazarların gerek sanat anlayışlarının gerekse tiyatroya yaklaşımlarının derinlemesine ele alınabilmesini sağlayan bu araştırma, eserleri metinlerarası bir ilişki çerçevesinde ele alması ve kültürel etkileşimi ortaya koyması bakımından önem arz etmektedir. Her iki yazar da eserlerinin ön sözünde sanatın, edebiyatın ve romantizmin ilkeleri doğrultusunda önemli temalar ileri sürmüştür. Eserlerde yer alan bu temalar klasik tiyatroya karşı romantik tiyatro, yaratıcılıközgürlük ve tarihtoplum algısı olmak üzere üç genel başlıkta toplanmıştır. Yapılan incelemeler neticesinde Namık Kemalin sanat anlayışı özelinde, Victor Hugodan esinlendiği ancak tüm esin kaynaklarını Osmanlı Devletinde yeni insan inşa etme amacına uygun olarak oluşturduğu ve eserini kendi tarihsel, toplumsal ve kültürel değerlerine uygun bir şekilde yeniden yazdığı sonucuna varılmıştır.
