Summary "Kaksi kansanrunokokoelmaa viime vuosisadalta ynnä 'Suru-Runot Suomalaiset'" by A. R. Niemi is a collection of folk poetry compiled in the late 19th century. This work features two compilations of traditional Finnish songs, emphasizing both artistic and folk dimensions of poetry. The book likely explores the significance and heritage of Finnish folklore, highlighting the role of cultural figures and specific historical contexts. The opening of the book introduces the first collection, focusing on the old poems gathered by Antti Törnudd. It discusses the origins and sources of these poems, including references to manuscripts and historical figures such as Th. Reinius and other scholars who contributed to the preservation of Finnish cultural heritage. The text outlines Törnudd's life as a priest and his dedication to collecting and showcasing Finnish poetry, which is significant in understanding the cultural landscape of Finland during the 18th and 19th centuries. The excerpt highlights Törnudd's efforts to preserve songs and oral traditions, while also touching on the academic discourse surrounding the provenance and categorization of these poems.
