The literature of Finland is bilingual, with lively and extensive
traditions in both Finnish and Swedish. This history covers both
literary traditions in detail. The volume's first section, on
Finnish-language literature, consists of a series of connected
chapters by leading authorities within the field. It opens with a
consideration of the folk literature in Finnish that flourished
during the Middle Ages and then examines the more recent history of
Finnish-language literature, with special emphasis placed on
writings from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
The second part of the book provides an examination of Finland's
Swedish-language literature from the late fifteenth century through
the early nineteenth century. Subsequent chapters trace
developments in Finland's Swedish-language literature during the
nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
A survey of children's literature--from both the Finnish- and
Swedish-language traditions--concludes this exceptionally thorough
volume.
