About the author
Born on January 25, 1847, in the Jyväskylä area and dying on October 24, 1893, in Tampere, F. F. Brummer is identified in reliable library and reference records as a Finnish poet. Finnish reference sources also describe him as a translator, and note that he used the pen name -r-r.
Modern public-domain catalogs help show how his work has lasted. Project Gutenberg lists books under his name, including Runoelmia 1 and Runoelmia 2, which suggests that poetry was central to his published work. Bibliographic records and author directories consistently connect him with Finnish-language literature from the 19th century.
Much of the easily confirmed information about Brummer is bibliographic rather than personal, so details about his life beyond the basics are hard to verify from the sources consulted. Even so, the record that remains presents him as part of Finland's literary history: a poet, a translator, and a writer whose work has continued to be preserved in digital archives.
