According to Johan Gabriel Linsén, president of the Finnish Literary Society, Kalevala gave Finnish literature “almost a European meaning”.


Question: In what decade did Finns start traveling abroad?

Kalevala

Although the work was well received by academic circles, Kalevala was not a sales success.


Question: In what decade did Finns start traveling abroad?

An edition of 500 copies was taken from it, which was enough to be sold for 12 years.

Question: In what decade did Finns start traveling abroad?

Kalevala

A French edition appeared in 1845.


Question: In what decade did Finns start traveling abroad?

Kalevala

Thanks to the translations, Kalevala gained fame abroad, for example Jacob Grimm gave an illustrious presentation of the work in the spring of 1845 at the Prussian Academy of Sciences.


Question: In what decade did Finns start traveling abroad?

Kalevala

[17] The so-called New Kalevala, most often referred to as just Kalevala, was completed in 1849.


Question: In what decade did Finns start traveling abroad?

Kalevala

[18] It contains 50 poems and 22795 verses.


Question: In what decade did Finns start traveling abroad?

Kalevala

It was even earlier versions more of Lönnrot's own creation.


Question: In what decade did Finns start traveling abroad?

Kalevala

[16] When building the New Kalevala, Lönnrot no longer believed that the poems could be restored to their original form.


Question: In what decade did Finns start traveling abroad?

Kalevala

He felt at this point that he knew the poems better than the poem singers, so he combined poems and their subjects according to his own vision.


Question: In what decade did Finns start traveling abroad?

Kalevala

[19] Lönnrot became Professor of Finnish in the autumn of 1853 and gave Kalevala lectures for 17 semesters.


Question: In what decade did Finns start traveling abroad?

Kalevala

Based on his teaching experience, Lönnrot began to consider the work from an educational perspective as well.


Question: In what decade did Finns start traveling abroad?

Kalevala

He therefore decided to undertake editing his work for the fifth time when asked for a shortened edition to address the need for schools.


Question: In what decade did Finns start traveling abroad?

Kalevala

The school-Kalevala manuscript was ready in April 1861.


Question: In what decade did Finns start traveling abroad?

Kalevala

It was not received with great enthusiasm and, for example, J. V. Snellman felt that the abbreviated establishment had lost its poetics and epicity.


Question: In what decade did Finns start traveling abroad?

Kalevala

School-Kalevala was not in long-term use in schools.


Question: In what decade did Finns start traveling abroad?

Kalevala

The “easy-priced” Kalevala, published by the Finnish Literature Society, began to be used in teaching in the 1870s.


Question: In what decade did Finns start traveling abroad?

Kalevala

However, in the lower classes, the students received their information from Zachris Topelius's Book of the Country, and in the upper classes the schoolchildren already read the actual Kalevala.


Question: In what decade did Finns start traveling abroad?

Kalevala

[19] Publication of poetry recordings After the appearance of the New Kalevala in the 1850s, scholars such as D.


Question: In what decade did Finns start traveling abroad?

Kalevala

E.


Question: In what decade did Finns start traveling abroad?

Kalevala

D. Europaeus, began to insist on getting acquainted with the poetry recordings used by Lönnrot.


Question: In what decade did Finns start traveling abroad?

Kalevala

However, Lönnrot delayed their publication, even though he had promised it in the opening sentence of his work.


Question: In what decade did Finns start traveling abroad?

Kalevala

For the use of scholars, this very extensive and unorganized collection of manuscripts came in 1874.


Question: In what decade did Finns start traveling abroad?

Kalevala

The first volume of the recordings, Kalevala's reproductions, was published in 1888, after which scholars had the first opportunity to begin exploring in more detail the relationship between Kalevala and folk poetry.


Question: In what decade did Finns start traveling abroad?

Kalevala

From this began a debate over how much Kalevala came to be regarded as a creation of Lönnrot himself and how much as authentic folk poetry.


Question: In what decade did Finns start traveling abroad?

Kalevala

As the extent of Lönnrot's editing and creation work became clear in the 1880s, the problem of authorship was solved by making Lönnrot the “last poem singer”.


Question: In what decade did Finns start traveling abroad?

Kalevala

[20] The name Kalevala is the seat or homeland of the heroes featured in the Kalevala epic.


Question: In what decade did Finns start traveling abroad?

Kalevala

The name comes from Kaleva, the mythical ancestor of the Finns and the father of Väinämöinen.


Question: In what decade did Finns start traveling abroad?

Kalevala

Kalevala is a nation of Kaleva's descendants, and Kalevala's heroes Väinämöinen, Ilmarinen and Lemminkäinen are Kaleva's sons.


Question: In what decade did Finns start traveling abroad?

Kalevala

Kaleva was also interpreted in early works and writings on ancient history as a paragon of evil and an enemy of the divine order, but Lönnrot transformed him into an early hero by selecting and interpreting poetry material.


Question: In what decade did Finns start traveling abroad?

Kalevala

Kaleva of Lönnrot is the first immigrator to Finland and thus the progenitor of all the Finns, or Kalevians, of the Finnish tribe.


Question: In what decade did Finns start traveling abroad?

Kalevala

The second name of Kalevala appears as Väinölä.


Question: In what decade did Finns start traveling abroad?

Kalevala

[21] In original folk poetry, Kalevala is mentioned only occasionally.


Question: In what decade did Finns start traveling abroad?

Kalevala

These verses were recorded in 1837 in Kellovaara: In Kalevala, the name is mentioned 26 times in various forms, often with his second name Väinölä, for example at the beginning of the third poem: Language Kalevala language is mainly Eastern dialects of the Finnish language as well as those spoken in Viena Karelia Vienan dialects, from whose territory Lönnrot most poems collected.


Question: In what decade did Finns start traveling abroad?

Kalevala

Vienaan dialects are read as dialects of the Karelian language, but Lönnrot himself considered them dialects of the Finnish language.


Question: In what decade did Finns start traveling abroad?

Kalevala

Lönnrot modified the language of the poems to be easier for Finns to understand and made sonic compromises between the vernacular and the traditional literary language.


Question: In what decade did Finns start traveling abroad?

Kalevala

In Old Kalevala, Karelians are more abundant than in the New Kalevala, especially in vocabulary, but also somewhat in sound, form and leadership doctrine.


Question: In what decade did Finns start traveling abroad?

Kalevala

[22] In Kalevala, the foreign letters b, c, d, f, q, w, x, z and å are not used in Kalevala.


Question: In what decade did Finns start traveling abroad?

Kalevala

[23] Similar to Eastern dialects, Lönnrot did not use the letter d as a weak equivalent of t in poems, but did use d nonetheless in the introduction, synopses, and poem names.


Question: In what decade did Finns start traveling abroad?

Kalevala

[24] The long vowels a and ä-vowels Lönnrot denoted aa and ä in the main emphatic first syllables, but further back in the word, in accordance with the Vienese and Eastern dialects, oa and eta.


Question: In what decade did Finns start traveling abroad?

Kalevala

As early as Old Kalevala, Lönnrot began to use the ts of southeastern dialects rather than the tt and ht of other dialects.


Question: In what decade did Finns start traveling abroad?

Kalevala

[25] Kalevala made the Eastern dialects of Finnish and the Karelian language more familiar to Finns.


Question: In what decade did Finns start traveling abroad?

Kalevala

It introduced new sound and form doctrinal features into the Finnish language, influenced Finnish word formation and introduced new words into Finnish.


Question: In what decade did Finns start traveling abroad?

Kalevala

[26] The Old Kalevala has been calculated to have 184 words entering the Modern Finnish dictionary that first appeared in VK.


Question: In what decade did Finns start traveling abroad?

Kalevala

Apart from these, the 197 words used in VK had not yet appeared in Swedish publications, as is now common words such as, organize and so.

Many types of cords also became familiar to Finns just from Kalevala.
