Lönnrot himself stated in the opening words of the New Kalevala that the poems had originated in “Permia” on the western coast of the White Sea.

In the Western world, the most famous epics at the time of the birth of Kalevala probably have been the Iliad and Odyssey claimed to have been written by Homer.


Question: When was Kalevala written?

In the autumn of 1833, he embarked on his fourth collecting expedition, which became the most relevant to Kalevala's genesis.

Question: When was Kalevala written?

[9] On his fifth collection expedition in spring 1834, Lönnrot initially met Martiska Karjalainen in Viena's Lonka village, from whom he received nearly thirty long songs.

At the end of the excursion, he arrived in Latvajärvi, where Arhippa Perttunen sang several new poems and inadequately known poems to him for three days in intact ensembles.

Kalevala

[9] Lönnrot's goal was to compile the poems into a broad, plotfully progressive narrative according to the model of Homer's Iliad and Odyssey epics.


Question: When was Kalevala written?

Kalevala

He also pruned Christian and other “modern” features of poems, made changes to place names and personalities such as Ilmarinen, composed individual poems from the ingredients of several poems, and made selections about poems.


Question: When was Kalevala written?

Kalevala

He additionally sepitated entirely new verses of the materials of folk poems if necessary — the verses from the Kalevala, which Lönnrot confessed, account for 3% of the Kalevala.


Question: When was Kalevala written?

Kalevala

[11] Lönnrot did not raise the persons of the poem singers he heard, for he saw folk poems as common poems for the whole people.


Question: When was Kalevala written?

Kalevala

However, in the introduction to several of his works, Lönnrot mentioned at least one important singer by name, and from his travelogues, letters and other information, more than 70 singers have been identified whom he listened to on his excursions.

Kalevala

[12] Lönnrot toured most frequently in the Karelian regions of Viena east of Kajaani.

He also went on collecting trips on the Finnish side, mainly in Eastern Finland.

This does not mean that Western Finland has not played any part in the genesis of Kalevala's poems; from there the poetry singing tradition just disappeared earlier.

West Finnish dialect features also appear in the poems.

He believed that Karelians, Hämians and Estonians would have wandered from Asia in ancient times under a Kaleva like Moses.

Question: When was Kalevala written?

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


Question: When was Kalevala written?

Kalevala

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


Question: When was Kalevala written?

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: When was Kalevala written?

Kalevala

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


Question: When was Kalevala written?

Kalevala

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


Question: When was Kalevala written?

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: When was Kalevala written?

Kalevala

The school-Kalevala manuscript was ready in April 1861.

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


Question: When was Kalevala written?

Kalevala

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


Question: When was Kalevala written?

Kalevala

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


Question: When was Kalevala written?

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: When was Kalevala written?

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: When was Kalevala written?

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: When was Kalevala written?

Kalevala

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


Question: When was Kalevala written?

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


Question: When was Kalevala written?

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: When was Kalevala written?

Kalevala

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

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: When was Kalevala written?

Kalevala

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


Question: When was Kalevala written?

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: When was Kalevala written?

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: When was Kalevala written?

Kalevala

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


Question: When was Kalevala written?

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: When was Kalevala written?

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: When was Kalevala written?

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: When was Kalevala written?

Kalevala

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


Question: When was Kalevala written?

Kalevala

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