Peeter Jakobson (27\/15 December 1854 \u2013 23\/11 July 1899) was a poet and playwright.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tJakobson was born in Rakvere as the son of a shoemaker. He attended the Russian church school and the school for the poor. From 1875\u20131879, Jakobson served in the Russian army, from 1877, as a non-commissioned officer in the Russian-Turkish War on the Balkan Peninsula. In 1879, he was released from service because of illness and started working as a shoemaker in Rakvere, from 1884 at V\u00e4ike-Maarja where he later founded a bookshop. Thereafter, he worked as a parish clerk at P\u00f5drangu and Koonu-\u00c4rina and in the 1890s as a photographer at V\u00e4ike-Maarja.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tAlong with Kaarel Krimm and Jakob Liiv, Peeter Jakobson was a member of the \u201cV\u00e4ike-Maarja Literary Parnassus\u201d and participated in the activities of cultural societies. He published three volumes of poetry in Estonian and a selection in German, Die Hirtenfl\u00f6te aus dem estnischen Blumenthal<\/em> (\u2018The Shepherd Flute from the Estonian Valley of Flowers\u2019, 1895) which contains his translations of his own and his contemporaries\u2019 poetry into German. In 1886\u20131899, he published nearly 300 poems in the newspapers Postimees, Valgus, Virulane<\/em> and Sakala<\/em>.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tThe themes of Jakobson\u2019s poems are unpretentious, and the manner of presentation is simple and sincere. The author has put his war experiences into poetry. Along with romantic tones, his later poetry includes realist elements. Jakobson has written a few poems for children, the best-known of them is Vastla laul<\/em> (\u2018Shrove Tuesday Song\u2019).<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tPeeter Jakobson has written two sentimental plays with pseudomythological characters: Koit ja H\u00e4marik<\/em> (\u2018Dawn and Sunset\u2019) and Udum\u00e4e kuningas ehk kroonitud woorus<\/em> (\u2018Fog Hill King or Crowned Virtue\u2019). These plays achieved popularity on stage and had an impact on Estonian literature. Jakobson also wrote village comedies on temperance themes Kustas kosib Mihklit<\/em> (\u2018Kustas is Wooing Mihkel\u2019) and Kihlakaart ehk suured sekeldused<\/em> (\u2018Engagement Card or Great Confusion\u2019), the psychological drama Pettuse ohvrid<\/em> (\u2018Victims of Deceit\u2019) and a few short plays.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tHe has published short prose about the Balkan countries and everyday scenes about life in the homeland. Peeter Jakobson\u2019s memoirs Minu s\u00f5jam\u00e4lestused<\/em> (\u2018My War Memories\u2019) appeared posthumously in 1901.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tJakobson has compiled a history book for schools, Ajalugu Eesti alamatele koolidele<\/em> (\u2018History for Lower Estonian Schools\u2019) and manuals of manners for young people. He has translated German literature into Estonian, including Friedrich Schiller\u2019s play Salakavalus ja armastus<\/em> (\u2018Intrigue and Love\u2019, Ger Kabale und Liebe<\/em>).<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n
