Summary/Abstract: Bernhard Linde (1886–1954), one of the founding members of the Noor-Eesti (”Young Estonia”) literary movement, was a prolific critic with his main interest lying in theatre, but his authority also extended to literary and art criticism. Beside that he dealt in translating and publishing, and to a modest extent in writing prose as well as poetry. Linde was a contradictory personality evoking ambivalent judgement concerning both his literary production and his personal life. He was married five times. Most of the few materials available of his personal life are court files, as all his five marriages ended in divorce. Another major source are some dossiers from the KGB archives.
