Since then, it has been reprinted, translated, performed, and used in the most surprising contexts, in different corners of the world. This particular case may be rather exceptional, but Gunilla Hermansson argues that the underlying dynamics are not and yet they have been underexposed in studies of literary history. This exploration of Vrvindar friska reveals the rich and intricate network of one text and uncovers new facets of how people have engaged with word art in their everyday lives in the modern era.</p><p>This network includes untraditional yet widespread uses of poetry and lyrics in lonely hearts columns and railway work and seemingly strange bedfellows, such as a constellation of Nordic folk songs and American plantation songs.
