ABSTRACT A poem by the Pietist pastor of St Jacob’s Church in Riga, Friedrich Bernhard Blaufuß (1697–1756), rediscovered in the State Historical Archives of Latvia and later in the Herrnhut Moravian Archives, has until now been absent from the history of culture and literature in Latvia. Blaufuß’ works also include several other poems in German and Latvian. Blaufuß authored the first history of the Latvian people written in Latvian and meant for the Latvian reader, Vidzemes stāsti (Livonian Histories). His proximity to Livonian Moravian circles has previously been underestimated. This article presents and contextualizes his poem Liefländisches Denkmal (Livonian Monument) in relation to Blaufuß’ historical prose work and Kristijonas Donelaitis’ poetic monument ‘Metai’ (The Seasons).

ABSTRACT From the sixteenth century onwards, those education institutions that were humanistic by rhetoric turned to a basic education in poetry, teaching the use of verse in everyday life. Initially, this was related to ancient verse and its meaning, then was transferred to Neo-Latin poetry and to German (vernacular) verse, thereby transforming literary culture. On this basis, the role of poetry in literary culture in the Baltics is shown using three examples: the late humanistic literary culture of Riga in the 1580s, mainly in Latin; the literary culture in Reval (Tallinn) around fifty years later, much more influenced by German-language poetry; and finally, German poems in love letters of that time, showing the application and function of verse in the private space.

ABSTRACT This exhibition review discusses the past exhibition Difficult Pasts. Connected Worlds (2022) at the National Gallery of Art, Vilnius, Lithuania. The project tried to shed light on the shared impact that long-silenced traumas and counter-memories have on the Baltic region, especially from a transnational perspective. A special focus lies on the oscillations between individual memory and public history as the exhibition participants engage in the creation of so-called ‘artistic historiographies’ based on unexplored and unknown memories by minorities and women. The displayed artworks are experimentally trying to provoke a process of ‘unlearning inherited histories’ by developing multifocal viewpoints and interpretations, an ongoing process the text accompanies. Navigating through the exhibitions’ conceptual threads, artistic manifestations, and ways of storytelling, the review introduces a generation of artists that is bonded to difficult and therefore challenging historical events from the 20th century, from the Holodomor in Soviet Ukraine to the Dąbroszczacy soldiers and autofictional lesbian literature.
