Lehte Hainsalu (real name Sööt since 1959 , born October 31, 1938 in the municipality of Haaslava , Tartu County ) is an Estonian writer .

Life

Lehte Hainsalu lived in Tartu in 1941 and graduated from high school there in 1956. She then studied Estonian Philology at the University of Tartu and graduated in 1961 with a diploma. Afterwards she worked for a while in the editorial office of the Tartu newspaper Edasi and for three years as a teacher at various Tartu schools.

From 1982 to 1990 she was head of the Tartu Department of the Estonian Writers' Union . During the Singing Revolution and regaining independence, she was a member of the Supreme Council of Estonia from 1990 to 1992. From 1993 to 2003 she taught style at the Theological Academy in Tartu, a college of the Estonian Evangelical Lutheran Church . She has also hosted popular children's programs for Estonian television for many years.

Lehte Hainsalu has been a member of the Estonian Writers' Union since 1957. She was one of the signatories of the Letter of Forty .

Literary work

Lehte Hainsalu began poetry at the age of eleven and made his debut in 1957 with a volume of poetry. Her poems were a refreshing enrichment for the Estonian poetry of the time, which had only just freed itself from the shackles of Stalinism , but in retrospect she is seen more as one of the "inconspicuous poets".

Nevertheless, her poetry, which was based among other things on Juhan Sütiste , was highly praised, which is why she became a member of the Writers' Association immediately after her debut at the age of nineteen, which was quite unusual. A critic from Estonia in exile also characterized Hainsalu as "one of the most talented beginners" of the time. Typical of her poetry are often classical forms such as sonnet and ballad , the latter for example in the volume Festival of Battleaxes , which presents the story of Tartus in ten songs. These poems had already been written in the 1970s, but could not be published until 1989 because of obvious parallels to the Soviet era. The critics drew comparisons here with the famous dance of death by Bernt Notke .

Lehte Hainsalu has also written travelogues and essays and occasionally mixes different genres. Her book Glockenhörers (2001), which deals with the Estonian cultural and literary history, is a mixture of “fiction and journalism, memoirs and essays”. Another critic saw the work as a literary historical description of the emergence of the Estonian state.

Critics recognized feminist elements in the author early on. This continues in her later prose, for example in the novel Hahnenbart (1999), which deals with rape in a student environment and has been described as a “multi-layered victim novel”. She achieved great fame in the field of children's literature, where she belonged to the recognized older generation alongside Ellen Niit and Heljo Mänd at the turn of the century .
