About the author
Born in Mikkeli in 1874, Oskar Albin Kallio was a Finnish lycée teacher and literary scholar. Sources identify him as a long-serving educator and researcher of literature, and note that his family name was originally Käyhkä before he became known as O. A. Kallio.
Kallio is especially connected with writing about Finnish authors and literary history. Library and bibliography records link him to studies of Finnish literature and to works on figures such as Elias Lönnrot, while Project Runeberg lists him as a literature historian from Finland.
He died in Tampere in 1940. I could confirm his importance as a teacher, literary scholar, and writer, but I did not find a suitable verified portrait image on the source page I checked, so no profile image is included here.
