[15] [14] Following the criticism of Ahlqvist, the publisher suspended the sale of booklets. [16] [17]. The reason was that August Ahlqvist, a professor of Finnish language and literature at the University of Helsinki, who had slipped all of Kivi's earlier works, wrote a murderous critique published in Finlands Allmänna Tidning as soon as the novel was published. Numerous people echoed Ahlqvist's criticisms without anyone rising to defend the novel. [14]
