Kalevala, The Land of the Heroes (Kirby translation)

Dive into the enchanting world of the Kalevala, a 19th-century epic poem masterfully compiled by Elias Lönnrot from the rich tapestry of Karelian and Finnish oral folklore and mythology. Revered as the national epic of Karelia and Finland, this monumental work has significantly shaped Finnish literature and identity. The Kalevala not only fueled the spirit of Finnish nationalism but also played a crucial role in the movement that led to Finlands independence from Russia in 1917. The first edition, known as The Old Kalevala, emerged in 1835, while the more widely recognized version was published in 1849, encompassing an impressive 22,795 verses across fifty songs. The title itself can be interpreted as The Land of Kaleva or Kalevia. If the rhythm resonates with you, it may be because Henry Wadsworth Longfellow drew inspiration from its distinctive trochaic tetrameter in his renowned Song of Hiawatha. Among the five complete English translations of the Kalevala, only the earlier works by John Martin Crawford and William Forsell Kirby have faithfully adhered to the original rhythmic structure known as Kalevala meter. The influence of this epic extends to modern literature, inspiring writers like J. R. R. Tolkien, who wove elements of its style and content into his iconic Lord of the Rings trilogy. - Summary by Wikipedia (edited and supplemented by Expatriate)
