 Estonian Literary Magazine. Book reviews. SYMBOL OF DAWN by Madli Puhvel   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Lydia Koidula, who was even called Mad Lydia, published her first stories under the name of her father, and her poetry remained mostly unpublished during her lifetime.
Her book gives a surprisingly fresh and many-sided overview of Lydia Koidula’s extraordinary personality and fate, which was at the same time typical and still untypical for a woman of the Baltic provinces of the Czarist Russia of the time.
Lydia Koidula had an essential role in the romantic and noble outbreak of the Estonian national awakening in 19th century.

 Estonian Literary Magazine. Book reviews. A GIRL OF VIENNA by Asta Põldmäe
The Lydia Koidula of Põldmäe’s short story, which could actually be called a short novel, is a heavily pregnant woman who walks the icy streets of Vienna in a dense snowstorm in January of 1878.
The romantic tradition has much emphasised Koidula’s conflict between the everyday life of a wife and mother, and the role of the poetess as a national-romantic heroine.
The story of Koidula’s family, and the gradual perishing of the poet inside her as she yielded to marriage and everyday life was performed in an extremely romantic key in Estonian theatre during the 1930s.

Lydia grew up in a literary family - her father founded the first Estonian language newspaper POSTIMEES which is current to this day.
Most of Lydia's early poetry had to remain anonymous as it wasn't really acceptable at that time, in such society, to have a career as a writer if you were a woman.
Lydia married a Latvian, and settled on one of the islands in St.Petersberg in Russia and had three children.

I have always loved Lydia Koidula's poems and I was happy that she wrote many of her charming poems not far from my city – in the town of Kronshtadt.
But it was only after I had breathed the air of Estonia that I was inspired by the true love of the land which gave birth to Kreitsvald and Koidula.

 Estonia - Language and Culture
In the second half of the nineteenth century, romanticism and love of country found equal expression in the poetry of Lydia Koidula, Estonia's first woman poet and a key figure of the cultural awakening.
In the place of the banned national anthem, the song My Fatherland Is My Love, based on a poem by Lydia Koidula and music by composer and conductor Gustav Ernesaks, became Estonians' de facto an-them.
During the late 1970s and early 1980s, Estonian culture again felt some of the cold drafts of official control, but by 1986 the influence of glasnost began to stir cultural activity anew, this time far into the realm of politics.

The first Song Festival was both a musical and political event, where the foundations to the further national awakening program were laid out.
A good example is "Mu isamaa on minu arm", music by Gustav Ernesaks, lyrics by Lydia Koidula, that during the occupation years became an unofficial anthem for the Estonians, and which, performed by joined choirs to the standing audience, ended every Song Festival.
