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, Francis Magoun has used prose, printed line for line
as in the original so that repetitions, parallelisms, and
variations are 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.
