Kalevala What is the author's tone in Kalevala by Elias Lonnrot? Asked by bookragstutor on 20 Aug 02:26 Last updated by Jill W on 10 Nov 15:03
The author's tone varies from poem to poem. The poems range in style and tone from the lyrically tragical (Poem 4), to almost sheer horseplay (Poem 3). Some are poems of warfare, while a number consist of magic incantations and magic charms.
