Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from King Fialar: A Poem in Five Songs The name of the great Finnish poet, Johan Ludvig Runeberg (1804-78), though less known in this country than on the continent of Europe, is not so unfamiliar to English readers as the poet´s own countrymen complain of. In company with the late Prof. E. W. Palmer, I brought out in 1878 a translation of his collected lyrical poems, idylls and epigrams, prefaced by a short sketch of his life and a brief review of his principal works. This was supplemented by a highly appreciative account of Runeberg´s poetical merits from the pen of Mr. (now Sir) Edmund Gosse, in his Studies in the Literatures of Northern Europe (1879), where he goes so far as to assert that Runeberg "is the greatest poet that ever used the Swedish language"; an assertion that correctly expresses the views even of most Swedes on the subject. Of late years some of Runeberg´s lesser epic poems have been done into English both in this country and in America, such as the wonderfully touching story of Nadeschda and the tragic narrative of the Grave in Perrho, etc. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
