Abstract
Of all the authors of the corpus, Léopold Sédar Senghor is probably the one who achieved the greatest fame. His international reputation is established not only in poetry but also in politics. In 1983, the French Academy opened its doors to him, welcoming poetic works including Chants d’ombre (Shadow Songs, 1945), Hosties noires (Black Hosts, 1948), éthiopiques (1956), Nocturnes (1961), Lettres d’hivernage (Letters in the Season of Hivernage, 1972), and Élégies majeures (Major Elegies, 1979). The 2007 publication of his complete works of poetry by the Centre national de la recherche scientifique (National Center for Scientific Research; CNRS) contributed to his integration into the pantheon of French authors.
