Description

M.A. Castrén continued the European tradition of expeditions in Russia but he was also able to fulfil the needs of the Imperial Russian administration for information about the Empire as well as the Finnish national movement’s request to explore the history of the Finnish people. Being far away from home brought about a massive need for him to stay in contact both with friends and relatives in Finland and with colleagues and official authorities at the Russian Academy of Sciences. The present volume brings together all the currently known letters written by Castrén, both official and unofficial (except his correspondence with his fiancée and future wife Natalia Tengström, which will be published in Epistulae 2). Most of the letters date from the years he spent in the field, but there are also letters written in Finland before and after his expeditions. Altogether, this volume contains 231 letters and some drafts written by Castrén in the 20-year period between 1832 and 1852.
