A national poet or national bard is a poet held by tradition and popular acclaim to represent the identity, beliefs and principles of a particular national culture. The national poet as culture hero is a long-standing symbol, to be distinguished from successive holders of a bureaucratically-appointed poet-laureate office. The idea and honoring of national poets emerged primarily during Romanticism, as a figure that helped consolidation of the nation states, as it provided validation of their ethno-linguistic groups.〔 Most national poets are historic figures, though a few contemporary writers working in relatively new or revived national literatures are also considered "national poets." Some nations may have more than one national poet; the idea of a single one is always a simplification. It has been argued that a national poet "must write poetry that closely identifies with the nation's cause – or is thought to do so",〔John Neubauer, "Figures of National Poets", in Marcel Cornis-Pope and John Neubauer, eds., ''(Figures of National Poets )'' (2004), p. 11.〕 with an additional assumption being "that a national poet must write in a national language".〔Michael Baron, ''Language and Relationship in Wordsworth's Writing'' (1995), p. 13.〕 The following is a list of nations, with their associated national poets. It is not a list of sovereign states or countries, though many of the nations listed may also be such. The terms "nation" (as cultural concept), "country" (as geographical concept) and "state" (as political concept) are not synonyms. ==Africa== *Algeria - Si Mohand *Angola - Agostinho Neto *Egypt - Ahmed Shawqi *Ethiopia - Tsegaye Gabre-Medhin *Mali - Fily Dabo Sissoko *Morocco - Mohammed Awzal *Nigeria - Chinua Achebe *Senegal - Léopold Sédar Senghor *Somalia - Hadrawi *South Africa - Mazisi Kunene *Sudan - Gely Abdel Rahman *Tanzania - Shaaban bin Robert *Tunisia - Aboul-Qacem Echebbi 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「national poet」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
