The turning point in the struggle for independence was the intensifying nationalistic sentiment produced by the publication, in 1835, of Elias Lonnrot's Kalevala, an epic based on folk poetry. In the following decades a small band of Finnish scholar-patriots dug into Finnish folklore to forge a literary language, create a national culture, and reconstruct the prehistoric period of the nation's past independence. Folklore and Nationalism in Modern Finland traces the crucial impact of folklore studies on three periods in Finnish history: the era of Swedish and Russian rule; the tense decades between the winning of Finnish independence and the end of World War II; and the postwar period. By studying the increasingly propagandistic application of folklore by both the political right and left and by showing how respected folklore scholars allowed themselves to be swayed by political issues, Wilson raises important questions about the proper use of folklore?and indeed of all the humanities. 606 $aNationalism$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01033832 606 $aFolklore$xStudy and teaching$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00930348 606 $aFolklore and nationalism$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00930365 606 $aFolklore and nationalism$zFinland 606 $aNationalism$zFinland 606 $aFolklore$xStudy and teaching$zFinland 607 $aFinland$2fast 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aNationalism. 615 0$aFolklore$xStudy and teaching. 615 0$aFolklore and nationalism. 615 0$aFolklore and nationalism 615 0$aNationalism 615 0$aFolklore$xStudy and teaching 700 $aWilson$b William A$g(William Albert),$f1933-2016.$01168421 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910524860303321 996 $aFolklore and Nationalism in Modern Finland$92721010 997 $aUNINA
