Zacharias Topelius - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Topelius became a student at the Imperial University of Helsingfors in 1833, received his filosofie magister degree in 1840, the Licentiate degree in 1844 and was made a Doctor of Philosophy in 1847, having defended a dissertation titled De modo matrimonia jungendi apud fennos quondam vigente ("About the custom of marriage among the ancient Finns"). |
 | | In 1878, Topelius was allowed to withdraw from his professional duties, but this did not sever his connection with the university; it gave him, however, more leisure for his abundant and various literary enterprises. |
 | | Topelius aimed, with eminent but perhaps pathetic success, at the cultivation of a strong passion of patriotism in Finland. |
