A History of Finnish Literature
Part of a series that offers mainly linguistic and anthropological research and teaching/learning material on a region of great cultural and strategic interest and importance in the post-Soviet era.
Literacy Skills as Local Intangible Capital
This book studies the "grey area" of the success story of rural lending libraries in the Nordic countries through the activities of people's libraries in one area of Central Finland, in the parish of Kivijärvi and its neighbouring parishes. The study explores the influence of social, cultural, geographical and economic phenomena, such as the spread of revivalist movements, on the reading habits of the local population and reveals interesting reasons why the establishment of elementary schools and popular libraries and the growth of functional literacy did not automatically increase the informational capital of the common people of remote regions or lead to their social advancement. The combination of collective biographical and (transnational) comparative methods with rarely utilized original sources in this study is innovative and has not been used before in Finnish historical research on functional literacy and popular libraries. This book is primarily intended for academic professionals, but it can also be used as a university textbook.
Martta
Kaisa Haalmanni, eli Haalmanska, toimii piikojen välittäjänä 1800-luvun Suomessa. Kun pienelle orpotytölle etsitään lapsenvahdiksi maalaistyttöä, hän suosittelee siskontyttöään Marttaa. "Lapsenhoitajan tulisi olla hyvä ja virkku heräämään, eikä sillä saa olla nyppyä eikä näppyä, ett’ei lapseen mitään tarttuisi", hän kirjoittaa siskolleen. Martta lähtee työhönsä haikein mutta innokkain mielin. Pian Martta joutuu kuitenkin vastakkain huushollissa elävän Agaata-neidin kanssa, ja hän päätyy taistelemaan näkemystensä puolesta. Theodolinda Hahnssonin yhteiskunnallinen Martta-romaani vuodelta 1874 on kuvaus nuoren naisen velvollisuuksista ja toiveista. Sofia Theodolinda Hahnsson (os. Limón, 1838–1919) oli suomalainen kirjailija, joka kirjoitti yhteiskunnallisista aiheista romantiikan hengessä.
Aleksis Kivi and/as World Literature
Aleksis Kivi (1834-1872) is Finland’s greatest writer. His great 1870 novel The Brothers Seven has been translated 59 times into 34 languages. Is he world literature, or not? In Aleksis Kivi and/as World Literature Douglas Robinson uses this question as a wedge for exploring the nature and nurture of world literature, and the contributions made by translators to it. Drawing on Deleuze and Guattari’s notion of major and minor literature, Robinson argues that translators have mainly “majoritized” Kivi—translated him respectfully—and so created images of literary tourism that ill suit recognition as world literature. Far better, he insists, is the impulse to minoritize—to find and celebrate the minor writer in Kivi, who “sends the major language racing.”
Women's Voices
Finnish women writers from the nineteenth century onwards have dealt with various problems concerning women's daily lives, their rights, their identities and their own voice. And these same questions can still be heard in contemporary women's literature. The articles in "Women's Voices" survey some of the ways in which Finnish female authors from the 1840s to the 1990s have dealt with these questions, and the solutions to these problems they have envisioned in their writing. How has the idea of freedom changed? What has been the relationship between female authors and the women's movement? What happens when female authors gradually become aware of the multiplicity of their identity? How do different literary genres affect the way women write? These are some of the questions focused on in Women's Voices. At the same time the volume presents an overview of the range of approaches to feminist criticism drawn on by Finnish feminist scholars.
Muistoja Naantalista
Elsa Lehtonen jää isättömäksi ja päätyy huolehtimaan sedästään jo nuoresta iästä. Kun hän matkustaa ensimmäistä kertaa Naantaliin 16-vuotiaana, hänelle aukeaa täysin uudenlainen maailma, joka sisältää paronittaria, virkamiehiä ja tärkeitä rouvia. Erityisesti paronitar tekee Elsaan vaikutuksen ja Elsa saakin kuulla hänen kiehtovan elämäntarinansa. Hän oppii, että sosiaalisesta asemasta huolimatta ihmisiä sitovat samankaltaiset ongelmat. Thedodolinda Hahnssonin Muistoja Naantalista" (1874) on yhteiskunnallinen romaani ja kasvutarina 1800-luvun Suomesta. Sofia Theodolinda Hahnsson (os. Limón, 1838–1919) oli suomalainen kirjailija, joka kirjoitti yhteiskunnallisista aiheista romantiikan hengessä.

Women Telling Nations
Women Telling Nations highlights how, from the 16th to the 19th centuries, European women, as readers and writers, contributed to the construction of national identities. The book, which presents twenty countries, is divided into four parts. First, we examine how women belonged to nations: they represented territories and political or religious communities in their own style. Second, we deal with the ways in which women wrote the nation: the network of relationships in which they were involved that were not necessarily national or territorial. The legitimation that women writers succeeded in finding is emphasised in the third section, while in the fourth we analyse how and why women were open to the outside world, beyond the country’s borders. Women Telling Nations underlines the quantitative importance of the circulation of these women’s writings and demonstrates the extent as well as the impact of the international cross-fertilisation of nations, especially by and for women: focusing on routes rather than roots.
