The text serves as a survey of significant Finnish authors and highlights their contributions to the evolution of national identity and literary expression in Finland, with a focus on figures such as Elias Lönnrot, A. Oksanen, and Aleksis Kivi. At the start of this work, the author discusses the purpose of the book, which is to explore the history of Finnish literature in a concise manner, connecting it to the broader movements within Europe during the respective periods. The opening portion emphasizes the romantic national spirit of the early 19th century, highlighting Elias Lönnrot's crucial role in compiling the "Kalevala" and laying the foundation for Finnish cultural consciousness.
