    Annotation:

    "In this article I will discuss perceptions of oral lyric poetry as representations of ideals of emotion. I use the Kanteletar, the most important lyric anthology of nineteenth-century Finland, as an example, asking how oral lyric poetry and its emotions have been represented in written form. My interest focuses not only on translation and transference, but also on the interpretative process. The analysis concentrates on one love song from the Kanteletar, in terms of its folk lyric background, and the interpretations made of the song. I will elucidate Lönnrot's editorial technique and demonstrate the multifaceted process involved in the creation and interpretation of the song.".
