The Kalevala: Or, Poems of the Kaleva District
Elias Lonnrot
The national folk epic of Finland is presented in an English translation. Magoun has used prose, printed line for line as in the original so that repetitions, parallelisms, and variations are apparent. The lyrical passages and poetic images, wry humor, tall-tale extravagance, and homely realism of the Kalevala come through with great effectiveness.
