Kalevala
''The Kalevala'' or ''The Kalewala'' (;〔("Kalevala" ). ''Random House Webster's Unabridged Dictionary''.〕 ) is a 19th-century work of epic poetry compiled by Elias Lönnrot from Karelian and Finnish oral folklore and mythology.
It is regarded as the national epic of Karelia and Finland and is one of the most significant works of Finnish literature. ''The Kalevala'' played an instrumental role in the development of the Finnish national identity, the intensification of Finland's language strife and the growing sense of nationality that ultimately led to Finland's independence from Russia in 1917.〔(【引用サイトリンク】accessdate=17 August 2010 )〕〔William A. Wilson (1975) "The Kalevala and Finnish Politics" ''Journal of the Folklore Institute'' 12(2/3): pp. 131–55〕
The first version of ''The Kalevala'' (called ''The Old Kalevala'') was published in 1835. The version most commonly known today was first published in 1849 and consists of 22,795 verses, divided into fifty songs (Finnish: ''runot'').〔(【引用サイトリンク】author=Kalevala Society )〕 The title can be interpreted as "The Land of Kaleva" or "Kalevia".
