Read more about Johan Vilhelm Snellman in:
- Johan Vilhelm Snellman (1806-81) was a Hegelian philosopher and
statesman. Together with poet Johan Ludvig
Runeberg, the scholar Elias Lönnrot,
and the author Zachris Topelius, he came
to have towering importance to the forming of the Finnish literature,
and ultimately, the Finnish national identity. Snellman's chief
achievement was in his role as a national awakener, the editor of two
newspapers, strongly encouraging literature as part of the process
leading to independence.
