(詳細はAustralian writer and poet Henry Lawson. It was first published in ''The Bulletin'' magazine on 8 October 1892 in reply to fellow poet Andrew Barton "Banjo" Paterson's poem, ''In Answer to Various Bards.'' In ''Up The Country,'' Lawson had criticised "The City Bushman" such as Banjo Paterson who tended to romanticise bush life. Paterson, in turn, accused Lawson of representing bush life as nothing but doom and gloom,〔(Henry Lawson: Australian Writer ) Australian Government Culture and Recreation Portal〕 famously ending with the line ''"For the bush will never suit you, and you'll never suit the bush."'' 〔Wikisource article - ''In Defence of the Bush'' by Banjo Paterson〕 This exchange sparked what is known as the Bulletin Debate, mainly between Paterson and Lawson, but also including Edward Dyson and Francis Kenna. This poem ended the first phase of the debate because, as Paterson observed in 1939, the poets "...ran out of material." ==Reception== ''The Oxford Companion to Australian Literature'' said of the poem that it "...widened the discussion to include the role of literature in reforming the total Australian society..."〔''The Oxford Companion to Australian Literature'', 2nd edition, p131〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Poets of the Tomb」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
