Název v původním jazyce
Carl Axel Gottlund, his written language, and the Runola
Popis výsledku v původním jazyce
The chapter examines the development of written Finnish from the Middle Ages through the nineteenth century, focusing on Carl Axel Gottlund's contributions and his epic Runola. It begins by outlining the typical path of European vernaculars toward standardization, noting Finland's late emergence of indigenous literary works. Early Finnish texts, largely lost, survived only in later folklore records, while genuine written Finnish began with the Reformation and Mikael Agricola's translations. The article traces how Agricola's southwestern dialect formed the basis of later standards, even as eighteenth-century writers experimented with native varieties. During the early nineteenth century debate over a single Finnish standard, Gottlund argued for dialectal freedom rather than uniformity. He also proposed a national epic drawn from folk poetry, anticipating Lönnrot's Kalevala. After Lönnrot's success, Gottlund composed Runola (1840), an oneiric journey through a poetic realm that blends Finnish folklore with Nordic, classicist and Christian allegory (Dante). Written in the Savo dialect and uncensored folk verses, Runola was criticized for its obscenity, dialectal inconsistency, and thematic incoherence, and it failed to supplant Lönnrot's inclusive model. The chapter concludes that Gottlund's work highlights tensions between linguistic unity and dialectal diversity in nation-building.
