Tengku Mariam's reputation as a palace poetess may not be widely recognized and has often been overlooked by scholars, despite her extensive contributions spanning various genres. Most existing research on Tengku Mariam has concentrated on her involvement in the performing arts, particularly her influence on the Pahang joget gamelan (a traditional Malay dance) in Terengganu. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a study that sheds light on Tengku Mariam's literary accomplishments and contributions, thereby bringing greater awareness to the content of the Malay manuscripts she produced as a palace poetess. This study, titled Exploring the Literary Works of Tengku Mariam: Analysis of Manuscripts and Contributions to Culture, History, and Politics, utilizes library methods and text analysis to fulfil its objectives. The primary goals include identifying and presenting the themes present in Tengku Ampuan Mariam's manuscript writings and analysing these themes within the collection housed by the Terengganu State Museum. The results reveal that Tengku Mariam's manuscripts encompass themes such as culture, history, and politics. This research aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of Tengku Mariam's literary works and serve as a valuable resource for individuals seeking insight into the substance of her manuscript writings.
