About the author

Frans Ferdinand Brummer (January 25, 1847 – October 24, 1893) was a Finnish poet and translator. Sources identify him as a writer from Finland, and Finnish-language references describe him specifically as a poet and translator.

His known books include Runoelmia 1 and Runoelmia 2, and library and ebook records also connect him with Finnish translations of works by August Blanche and Sara Pfeiffer. Those records suggest a career that moved between original verse and bringing other Nordic writing into Finnish.

Brummer published at least some work under the pseudonym -r-r. Although little biographical detail seems to be widely available online today, the surviving catalog, library, and public-domain ebook records show that he remains part of the early history of Finnish literature.
