Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Traditional Poetry of the Finns For a long time past grammarians, classical or otherwise, have engaged in conjectural, anatomical dissections of the Homeric poems and other national epics; and they will no doubt continue so to do. Their researches are guided by a general abstract principle, and by a conception of this principle as a concrete fact. The first is absolutely true; for the second no proof can be adduced. The true and incontrovertible principle is that which, since the end of last century, has made a distinction between such poems as the AEneid, the Gerusalemme Liberata and others (products of a learned mind when the schools and theory were flourishing), and such poems as belong to a period of spontaneous epic production, during which popular singers have elaborated numerous epic songs of greater or of less extent. These last poems are known as popular or national, not only on account of their subject, their sentiment, their use, but also and principally because the poetry which gave rise to them is natural, spontaneous, collective, impersonal, popular: hence national in its origins and its developments.

Download or read book Kalevala written by Elias Lönnrot and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2021-04-29 with total page 501 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'One of the great mythic poems of Europe' The New York Times Sharing its title with the poetic name for Finland - 'the land of heroes' - Kalevala is the soaring epic poem of its people, a work rich in magic and myth which tells the story of a nation through the ages from the dawn of creation. Sung by rural Finns since prehistoric times, and formally compiled by Elias Lönnrot in the nineteenth century, it is a landmark of Finnish culture and played a vital role in galvanizing its national identity in the decades leading to independence. Its themes, however, reach beyond borders and search the heart of human existence. Translated with an Introduction by Eino Friberg
Book Synopsis Finnish Folk Poetry and the Kalevala by : Thomas A. DuBois
Download or read book Finnish Folk Poetry and the Kalevala written by Thomas A. DuBois and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2022-02-14 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since its initial publication in the early nineteenth century, Elias Lonnrot’s Finnish epic Kalevala has attracted international interest and scholarship. However, the author comments that the distorting lenses of translation, cultural difference and historical distance, have rendered the work a cryptic and often misinterpreted text outside of its country of origin. Even within Finland, scholars have found it difficult at times to judge the relation of the Kalevala to its oral sources. Lonnrot’s meticulous notes and discussions of intent and accomplishment make clear what he changed and how he went about it, but give us less inkling of why. This study's view is that the key to understanding Lonnrot’s changes lies in Romantic aesthetics and in the intellectual and socio-political agendas which they encode. Lonnrot created a Romantic epic out of Baltic-Finnic folk poetry, an epic complete with the narrative, generic, gendered and political characteristics of literary epics in nineteenth century’ Europe.

Book Synopsis Soviet Heroic Poetry in Context by : Margaret Ziolkowski
Download or read book Soviet Heroic Poetry in Context written by Margaret Ziolkowski and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2013-08-15 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Key issues surrounding the composition and recording of folklore include its frequently intensely political aspect and it preoccupation with chimerical cultural authority. These issues are dramatically displayed in Soviet epic compositions of the 1930s and 1940s, the so-called noviny (“new songs”), which took their formal inspiration to a great extent from traditional Russian epic songs, byliny (“songs of the past"), and their narrative content from contemporary political and other events in Stalinist Russia. The story of the noviny is at once complex and comprehensible. While it may be tempting to interpret the excrescences of Stalinism as unique aberrations, the reality was often more complicated. The noviny were not simply the result of political fiat, an episode in an ideological vacuum. Their emergence occurred in part because of specific trends and controversies that marked European folklore collection and publication from at least the late eighteenth century on, as well as because of developments in Russian folkloristics from the mid-nineteenth century on that assumed perhaps exaggerated proportions. The demise of the noviny was equally mediated by a host of political and theoretical considerations. This study tells the story of the rise and fall of the noviny in all its cultural richness and pathos, an instructive tale of the interaction of aesthetics and ideology.
Download or read book The Kalevala written by Elias Lonnrot and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-01-25 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Kalevala is the great Finnish epic, which like the Iliad and the Odyssey, grew out of a rich oral tradition with prehistoric roots. During the first millennium of our era, speakers of Uralic languages (those outside the Indo-European group) who had settled in the Baltic region of Karelia, that straddles the border of eastern Finland and north-west Russia, developed an oral poetry that was to last into the nineteenth century. This poetry provided the basis of the Kalevala. It was assembled in the 1840s by the Finnish scholar Elias Lönnrot, who took `dictation' from the performance of a folk singer, in much the same way as our great collections from the past, from Homeric poems to medieval songs and epics, have probably been set down. Published in 1849, it played a central role in the march towards Finnish independence and inspired some of Sibelius's greatest works.
