| description | In world literature, there are many forests of significance, e.g. oak forest of Mamre and in Danteâs Divine Comedy. Finnish literature has abounded with forest topics since ancient folkore. We have a literature of floaters, loggers and paper workers of industrialized Finland, not to speak of a hunting literature. A major theme is âfrom forest to townâ, where the first work, Aleksis Kiviâs âSeven brothersâ, is a landmark in Finnish literature. Forests of many other authors are also presented, as well as ancient chants and poems. The paper is based on a lecture given in the seminar âThe forest as a Finnish cultural entityâ, held in Helsinki in 1986. The PDF includes a summary in English. |
