An important era for the European Enlightenment-founded 'republic of letters' was the cultural internationalism of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century.The fin de sicle was also significant in forming the concepts of both the European intellectual and the European public sphere.The starting point of my article is the Finnish liberal cultural intellectuals during this period.In their activities in Europe, these Finnish intellectuals operated in the context of Russification, and that left a national mark.On the other hand, Scandinavia was the first frame of reference for literary-oriented Finnish liberal intellectuals.Through empirical examples from the cultural periodicals they edited, I discuss how periphery intellectuals joined the European republic of letters and how transnationalism in exchanging ideas and sharing universal ideals was realized.The outcome of the article is that although transnationalism in history studies provides a fruitful way to approach the era in question, often nationalism play a significant role in the transnational activities of intellectuals in small nations.Besides the political situation of a young small nation in turmoil, the close relationship between the State and 'intellectual labour' makes the Finnish case interesting in terms of transnational history
