Summary/Abstract: The Hungarian Kalevala. The Jubilee Edition of the Finnish Epic. My paper deals with the Hungarian jubilee edition of Kalevala. It analyzes the Hungarian-Finnish analogies, which appear in the second volume of the edition of 1935, entitled Magyarázatok a Kalevalához (Explanations to Kalevala). As a theoretical frame I have used André Lefevere’s article, which deals with the English translations of Kalevala. The analysis proves that both the Hungarian- Finnsh analogies and Dezső Kosztolányi’s essay have contributed to the canonization of the Kalevala in Hungarian literature.
