In the preface of this edition of Kalevala, we embark on a journey of rediscovery—a journey that takes us back to 19th-century Finland and introduces us to the visionary mind of Elias Lonnrot. It is within these pages that we uncover the fascinating origins, the transformative impact, and the enduring legacy of this epic tale. Kalevala, a work born out of Lonnrot’s tireless dedication to preserving Finnish folklore, emerged at a time when the nation was undergoing a profound cultural and national awakening. Lonnrot, a physician and a philologist, recognized the importance of collecting and documenting the oral traditions of the Finnish people, and he embarked on a remarkable mission to gather these fragments of ancient wisdom. In this preface, we delve into the historical and cultural context that gave rise to Kalevala. We explore the significance of the Finnish national identity and the role that folklore and mythology played in shaping that identity. We learn about the turbulent times of Finland's struggle for independence and how Kalevala became a symbol of cultural resilience and unity. The preface also unravels the process by which Lonnrot meticulously compiled and shaped the verses of Kalevala. We discover the countless journeys he undertook through the Finnish countryside, listening to the tales of the people, and meticulously piecing together the fragments of an epic that had been passed down through generations. It is a testament to his passion, perseverance, and unwavering belief in the power of storytelling. As we immerse ourselves in the preface, we come to understand the significance of Kalevala in the Finnish literary tradition. Lonnrot’s work not only preserved the ancient tales but also breathed new life into them, transforming them into a coherent narrative that captured the imagination of readers. The preface offers insights into the structure, themes, and motifs that define Kalevala, and the ways in which it resonated with readers both within and beyond Finland's borders. Moreover, the preface highlights the impact of Kalevala on subsequent generations of writers, artists, and musicians. We explore the echoes of Kalevala in Finnish literature, where its themes and characters continue to inspire and influence. We learn about the musical compositions and operas that have been created in response to the epic, showcasing the enduring power of its verses to ignite the creative spirit. Lastly, the preface invites readers to embark on their own journey of discovery through the pages of Kalevala. It is an invitation to explore the beauty, wisdom, and magic that lie within these verses—to immerse oneself in the tales of heroes and deities, to witness the power of words and music, and to experience the profound connection between folklore, culture, and the human experience. As we delve into the preface, we open the gateway to a world of wonder, where ancient tales and timeless wisdom converge. We prepare ourselves to embark on a voyage through the epic tapestry of Kalevala, ready to be enchanted, inspired, and transformed by the verses that have captivated generations.

Widely considered one of the leading experts on the works of J.R.R. Tolkien, Thomas Alan Shippey has informed and enlightened a generation of Tolkien scholars and fans. In this collection, friends and colleagues honor Shippey with 15 essays that reflect their mentor's research interests, methods of literary criticism and attention to Tolkien's shorter works. In a wide-ranging consideration of Tolkien's oeuvre, the contributors explore the influence of 19th and 20th century book illustrations on Tolkien's work; utopia and fantasy in Tolkien's Middle-earth; the Silmarils, the Arkenstone, and the One Ring as thematic vehicles; the pattern of decline in Middle-earth as reflected in the diminishing power of language; Tolkien's interest in medieval genres; the heroism of secondary characters; and numerous other topics. Also included are brief memoirs by Shippey's colleagues and friends in academia and fandom and a bibliography of Shippey's work.

James Baldwin (1841-1925) was an American editor and author. Largely self-educated, he began teaching at the age of 24. In addition to editing school books, he started writing books of his own. After the publication in 1882 of The Story of Siegfried, he went on to write more than 50 others. At one time it was estimated that of all the school books in use in the United States, over half had been written or edited by him. He is best remembered for the books of introductory historical sketches he wrote for younger students and his retellings of the legends of heroes for older students. Other works include: The Story of Roland (1883), A Story of the Golden Age (1887), Old Greek Stories (1895), Fifty Famous Stories Retold (1896), Four Great Americans (1897), Hero Tales (1904), Fifty Famous People (1912) and In My Youth (1914).
