Summary "Väinämöiset: Yksi kokous meijän nykyisten runojain virren-teoista" by C. A. Gottlund is a collection of Finnish poetry and folk songs written in the early 19th century. The work celebrates the rich tradition of Finnish folklore, particularly focusing on the character Väinämöinen, a central figure in Finnish mythology. It aims to revive the appreciation for the Finnish language and its poetic heritage, presenting both contemporary and traditional pieces. The opening of the collection introduces the concept of Väinämöinen as both a symbolic and literal representative of Finnish culture, invoking celestial imagery and nature. It reflects Gottlund's intention to highlight the importance of Finnish folklore and language, contrasting it with foreign influences that had marginalized it. Additionally, the text sets the stage for the exploration of various poets and their contributions, such as Rusi Ryynäinen, whose works serve to bridge the old traditions with contemporary expressions. Overall, the beginning emphasizes a nationalistic sentiment and a call to preserve the linguistic and cultural identity of the Finnish people through their poetry.
