 Johan Vilhelm Snellman - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Johan Vilhelm Snellman (May 12, 1806 – July 4, 1881) was an influential Fennoman philosopher and Finnish statesman, nobilitated in 1866.
Snellman's lectures quickly became popular with the students, but in November 1838 his lectureship was temporarily recalled after a judicial proceeding that ultimately aimed at establishing the government's firm control of new and oppositional thoughts among the academics.
Snellman's inflexibility and high profilic position in the political debate would however, together with his old reputation as radical agitator of the 1830s–1840s, accumulate too much of resistance and aversion against his person and his policies.

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.

 Forests and Finnish culture — Virtual Finland
Nurtured in a Western cultural tradition, Johan Vilhelm Snellman (1806-1881), the progenitor of the Finnish language, culture and currency, was of the opinion that the forests of Finland should be felled and the money used to develop agriculture.
As far as he was concerned, this was the only way for the Finns to gain inclusion among the civilised nations and to rid themselves of the stigmas of barbarism, lack of civilisation and drunkenness.
Snellman wanted to see Finland follow in the footsteps of the other European countries, which had developed their culture against an agricultural background, but cultural history did not repeat itself in the case of Finland.

The leading Finnish nationalist spokesman was Johan Vilhelm Snellman (1806-81), who saw increasing the use of the Finnish language as a way for Finland to avoid assimilation by Russia.
Snellman stressed the importance of literature in fostering national consciousness; until the nineteenth century, however, there had been almost nothing published in Finnish except for religious works.
The publication in 1835 of the Kalevala, the Finnish folk epic, filled the void, and in the late twentieth century the Kalevala continued to be the single most important work of Finnish literature.

Eliel Saarinen, who was responsible for the design of the pedestal and the environment in which the sculpture was set, certainly contributed also to the monument’s simplicity; after all, Wikström had a penchant for rich pictorial motifs.
The simplified figure of Snellman is based on an old family photograph from 1874, but Wikström also allowed for sculptural requirements such as perspective shortenings.

 The historical significance of the Finland-Swedes   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Since the entire group of Finland-Swedes contained only about six percent of all Swedes, the former obviously are heavily overrepresented as well-known writers.
Still, we have excluded two Finland-Swedish authors of the nineteenth century who are featured in the Encylopædia, Minna Canth (née Johnsson) and Karl Johan ("Kaarlo") Bergbom, who wrote in Finnish and thus were not Swedish writers.
The other Finnish writers with entries in the Encyclopædia, Juhani Aho (né Brofelt), Aleksis Kivi (né Stenvall) and Johannes Linnankoski (né Johan Viktor Peltonen), seem to have grown up with Finnish as their first language, even if none of them was of pure Finnish descent.

Educationalists regard the philosopher Johan Vilhelm Snellman (1806-1881) as the initiator of lifelong learning in Finland.
In Snellman’s view the task of the elementary school could not make a person complete; instead it should provide citizens with the capacity to develop themselves continuously.
He thought that education could be divided into three stages: the rearing of children; school education; and self-education, of which the last was a lifelong process.

 Zacharias Topelius
Zacharias Topelius was born in a modest house at Kuddnäs, in the province of Ostrobothnia - also Johan Vilhelm Snellman and J.L. Runeberg.
Its only noteworthy rival in the public debate of contemporary topics was J.V. Snellman's Saima (1844-1846), which often attacked Topelius's views.
Especially Topelius's vision of one nation with two languages led him to a collision course with Snellman (1806-1881), a Hegelian philosopher and statesman, who was a central figure in the national awakening.

In the 1830s, with the move of the University (the only one in Finland at the time) to Helsinki, the new capital of the Grand Duchy, a movement known as Helsinki Romanticism emerged.
Its members included four young students who were to prove immensely important to the forming of Finnish literature and, ultimately, the Finnish national identity: the poet Johan Ludvig Runeberg (1804-77), the scholar Elias Lönnrot (1802-84), the author Zacharias Topelius (1818-98) and the Hegelian philosopher and statesman Johan Vilhelm Snellman (1806-81).
Especially important was Elias Lönnrot, who performed a huge task in collecting folk poetry from the remote wildernesses of Karelia (where the ancient oral tradition still survived unbroken) and compiling these to what was to become Finland’s national epic, the Kalevala (1849).

This was a movement born in the Academy, or University, when it was still in Turku; it followed the University to Helsinki in 1828 and found a new life in the meetings of the 'Saturday Society' in the new capital.
Several major cultural figures emerged from the Society, such as Elias Lönnrot, who collected folk poetry and collated the national epic, "the Kalevala"; Johan Ludvig Runeberg, who became Finland's national poet; and philosopher Johan Vilhelm Snellman, who laid the groundwork for a nation-state by promoting the use of the Finnish language even among the intelligentsia.
One of Snellman's dreams, literature in Finnish, began to come true in the 1860s with the works of Aleksis Kivi, the best-known of which are the comedy "Nummisuutarit" (Cobblers on the Heath, 1864) and the novel "Seitsemän veljestä" (Seven Brothers, 1870).
