The Kalevala, or Poems of the Kaleva District
Elias Lönnrot, Francis Peabody Magoun (transl.)
A Prose Translation with Foreword and Appendices by Francis Peabody Magoun, Jr.
The national folk epic of Finland is here presented in an English translation that is both scholarly and eminently readable. To avoid the imprecision and metrical monotony of earlier verse translations, Magoun has used prose, which is printed line for line as in the original, so that the use of repetition and parallelism and variation is readily apparent. The lyrical passages and poetic images, the wry humor, the tall-tale extravagance, and the homely realism of the Kalevala come through with extraordinary effectiveness.
