| • | The Kalevala is an epic poem which Elias Lönnrot claimed to have compiled from Finnish folk sources in the 19th century. It is commonly called the Finnish national epic and is one of the most significant works of Finnish-language literature. The Kalevala is credited with inspiring the nationalism that ultimately led to Finnish independence from Russia in 1917. The name means "land of Kaleva" (derived from the Finish suffix -la/lä meaning land). The text of the Kalevala consists of 22,795 verses, divided into 50 poems or chapters (finnish runot, singular runo, from Germanic rune). Source: [wikipedia: kalevala] |
