1889. The first English translation of Kalevala was published by
John Martin Crawford in New York and it stimulated great interest
among specialists in the religions of primitive peoples. This
collection of 50 cantos was compiled from oral poetry, which for
the most part had been recorded among the unlettered folk in the
backwoods districts of northeastern Finland and those parts of the
Russian Province of Archangel where Karelian (a language closely
related to Finnish) was spoken. It has since become known to the
world as the Finnish national epic.
