About this person
Its sharpness cost him his job as a lecturer at The Royal Academy of Turku and he had to emigrate to Sweden, where he continued his political activity. He became director of the Royal Library in Stockholm in 1843. He has long been regarded as a forerunner of Finnish national awakening, though later scholarship has presented a more nuanced view of his political vision.
