About This Book

A survey of recipients of the Nobel literary prize, offering concise biographies, critical assessments of major works, and selective bibliographies for each laureate up to the author's time. The volume opens with an account of Alfred Nobel and the conditions of his bequest, then proceeds through chapters that group poets, novelists, dramatists, and scholars, discussing characteristic styles and representative works. Illustrations, a chronological list of laureates, and a bibliography provide reference support, and the commentary is presented as an invitation to further reading rather than an exhaustive treatment of any single author.

Transcriber’s note

Minor punctuation errors have been changed without notice. Hyphenization was standardized where appropriate. Italization, and spelling of proper nouns were also standardized.

In this version, the illustrations are placed differently on the page than in the original. This was done to keep them on the same page as the original. Page numbers in the list of Illustrations reflect the position of the illustration in the original text, but links to the current position of illustrations.
