About J. V. Jannsen<\/a><\/p>\n

Johann Voldemar Jannsen (l6.\/4. V 1819 \u2013 13. \/1. VII 1890) was one of the founders of Estonian press and the Song Festival tradition, a cultural figure and writer during the Estonian Age of Awakening, and the father of Lydia Koidula and Harry Jannsen. Jannsen\u2019s works represent Estonian literature\u2019s transition from religious to secular, from the borrowed to the original and from folkloric oral tradition to a written language. His mission was to shape the self-awareness of Estonians as a nation, based on the principles of equality between nations and races, humanism and the ideology of Christian democracy. \u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Jannsen was born in V\u00e4ndra manor, son to a miller and an innkeeper in T\u00f5rvaaugu. He studied in the V\u00e4ndra sacristan school (K\u00fcsterschule<\/em>) and parish school. He worked as a coachman for Carl K\u00f6rber, a minister and man of letters, who taught him music and German. From 1838, he worked as a cantor and schoolmaster\u2019s aid in V\u00e4ndra; from 1842, as a sacristan and parish school teacher and from 1850\u201363, he was a teacher at the village school in \u00dclej\u00f5e, P\u00e4rnu. The newspaper Perno Postimees ehk N\u00e4ddalileht<\/em> that Jannsen founded and was the editor of from 1857\u201363 established a consistent Estonian journalistic tradition. In 1863, he relocated to Tartu where he became Estonia\u2019s first professional journalist. He worked as the editor of Eesti Postimees<\/em> and its special editions (1864\u201380), published the agricultural magazine Eesti P\u00f5llomees k\u00f5ige eesti p\u00f5llomeestele<\/em> (1869\u20131880), founded the Vanemuine Singing and Acting Society in 1865 and led it until 1879. As the organizer of the first (1869) and second (1870) Estonian Song Festival, the founder of the Estonian Farmers Society in Tartu (1870) and a supporter of the Estonian Alexander School movement, Jannsen incited Estonians\u2019 national sensibilities and their demand for culture. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

As an enlightener of the people, he spread geographical, political and agricultural knowledge, promoted education and temperance, condemned superstitious beliefs and indirectly, occupation as well, and combated poverty and emigration. Instead of \u2018maarahwas<\/em>\u2018 (\u2018countryfolk\u2019), he started using the ethnonym Estonians. In Tartu, his daughter Lydia Jannsen (Koidula) assisted him in his writing and editing. In the 1870s, during the rift in the national movement, Jannsen remained conservative, distancing himself from the radical Carl Robert Jakobson. The Livonian Knighthood secretly started supporting him financially but despite Realpolitik he still remained true to his ideals about the young nation and his personal opinion. In turn, Jakobson\u2019s activities in undermining the Baltic Germans\u2019 position were well received by the czar government. In 1880, Jannsen withdrew from the public due to paralysis. He passed away in Tartu and is buried in Tartu-Maarja Cemetery with a monumental bust marking his grave (by August Weizenberg). In his birthplace V\u00e4ndra, there is a memorial stone for him and three streets are named after him in Tallinn, Tartu and P\u00e4rnu. <\/span><\/p>\n

Jannsen was a Pietist Lutheran and his songbook Sioni-Laulo-Kannel I\u2013III<\/em> (1845, 1853, 1860) that he compiled and fluently translated became hugely popular. His chapbook Laup\u00e4wa-\u00f6htune K\u00fcllalinne<\/em> (\u2018Saturday Evening Guest\u2019, 1853) expresses enlightenment ideas. In addition to several religious books, he has also written for children. From his more than 200 pieces of prose, village stories and tales of historical figures, often humorous, form the majority. Jannsen was widely published: in yearbooks containing fiction, folk calendars, both of his newspapers and their special editions, and the anthology P\u00fcssipappa essimessed K\u00fclla-Juttud k\u00fclla rahwale<\/em> (1854). Six of his stories are considered originals as he often adapted from German folk literature. Jannsen\u2019s folk tale style is rich, narrative, conversational and humorous, at times realistic, with comical characters and narrative digressions. His expressive phraseology, proverbs, sayings, comparisons, metaphors and personification techniques influenced Estonians\u2019 sense of literary style. Some of his adaptions could even be considered to have the value of originals. Jannsen\u2019s stories were very popular and helped shape the nation\u2019s reading habit. In the 1880s, Finland\u2019s largest magazine Kyl\u00e4kirjaston Kuvalehti<\/em> published translations of his works. A selection of his stories were re-published in the editions of J. V. Jannseni Kirjad<\/em> (\u2018Writings of J. V. Jannsen\u2019, 1881\u20131911). <\/span><\/p>\n

Jannsen created a few simple comedy plays that were staged from 1873\u20131888 in Vanemuine Society. Jannsen\u2019s voluminous collections of lyrics offered choirs a more secular repertoire: Eestirahwa 50-aastase Jubelipiddo-Laulud<\/em> (\u2018Song Festival Songs for Estonia\u2019s 50th Anniversary\u2019, 1869) and Eesti Laulik<\/em> (\u2018Songbook of Estonia\u2019, 1860, 5th edition in 1880, with sheet music in 1862). Among other Estonian translations those books also include works by J. W. Goethe, F. Schiller, L. Uhland, G. A. B\u00fcrger. He himself conducted choirs in P\u00e4rnu and later in Tartu and the manuscript of his Partitur ehstnischer Chorges\u00e4nge<\/em> has been preserved. Jannsen is the author of the lyrics of the Estonian national anthem Mu isamaa, mu \u00f5nn ja r\u00f5\u00f5m<\/em> (\u2018My Fatherland, My Happiness and Joy\u2019).<\/span>\n<\/p>\n
