Toomas Haug <\/span>(b. 1. V 1956) is a literary historian, critic and commentator.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tHe was born and educated in Tallinn; from 1974 to 1978 he studied Estonian language and literature at the Tallinn Pedagogical Institute. He worked as a senior researcher at the F. Tuglas Museum (1978-1983), from 1983 as an editor at the journal Looming<\/i>, and from 1990 as its deputy editor-in-chief. He has also been a lecturer at the Estonian Institute of the Humanities and a cultural and political observer for Radio Free Europe. He belonged to the leadership of the Main Committee of Citizens of the Republic of Estonia (1989-1990), was a member of the Congress of Estonia (1990-1992) and leader of the press team of the Committee of Estonia. He has been a member of the Writers\u2019 Union since 1985, and was on its board from 1986 to 1989 and 1992 to 1998. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tAs a critic he made his debut in Sirp ja Vasar <\/i>in 1978. In addition to criticism he has published both general surveys and treatments of individual issues in Estonian literary history. Haug has paid attention to both well-known authors and lesser-known aspects. For example, he has dealt with the literary groupings Siuru and Tarapita, with the work of F. Tuglas, A.H. Tammsaare and J. Kross, as well as more recent literature, such as Andrus Kivir\u00e4hk. He has had an interest in the so-called extreme areas of literature. He has a good knowledge of facts and skill at finding and selecting previously unknown or unconnected aspects. The style of his articles resembles that of essays and short stories. Generally Toomas Haug writes so-called \u2018old-school\u2019 treatments of literature, not framed in more or less fashionable theories.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tHe compiled a selection of Mart M\u00e4ger\u2019s poetry, Taevasalla <\/i>(Under the sky, 2010), the collections of essays Valik. 1. osa: esseid maailmakirjandusest <\/i>(\u2018Selection, Part 1: Essays on World Literature\u2019, 1987) and Valik. 3. osa: esseid maailmakirjandusest <\/i>(\u2018Selection, Part 3: Essays on World Literature\u2019, 1988), as well as a collection of articles, Valik, 2. osa: artikleid eestluse ajaloost <\/i>(\u2018Selection, Part 2: Articles on the History of Estonian Identity\u2019, 1988).<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tHe has written a book of memoirs, M\u00f6\u00f6da Koidu t\u00e4navat <\/i>(\u2018Along Koidu Street\u2019, 2014), in which his experience of childhood frames the viewpoint of a grown man. Gentle humour and occasional irony have their place here, as in his articles about literature.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tHaug\u2019s short stories Ema h\u00e4\u00e4l<\/i> (\u2018Mother\u2019s Voice\u2019) and Mustam\u00e4e vanad<\/i> (\u2018The Old Ones from Mustam\u00e4e\u2019, which originally appeared in Looming<\/i>, also appeared in the collections Eesti novell 2019 <\/i>(The Estonian short story 2019) and Eesti novell 2020<\/i>.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tHe won the Literature Endowment annual award in 2001 for his article \u2018The triangle of Tallinn streets: a piece of uncanonised literary history\u2019, in 2004 for the collection Troojam\u00e4e t\u00f5otus <\/i>(\u2018The Pledge of Troojam\u00e4e\u2019), in 2006 for the article \u2018The death of A.H.T. in Africa\u2019, and in 2010 for the collection Klassikute lahkumine <\/i>(\u2018The Departure of the Classics\u2019). In 2000 he was awarded the Order of the Coat of Arms, Class IV.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n
