Description

I boken skildras inledningsvis Akademiens tillkomst 1786 och dess historia fram till våra dagar. Därefter följer två korta avsnitt om arbetet med svenska språket resp. Akademiens tävlingar och priser. Boken ger också läsaren en inblick i Akademiens nuvarande verksamhet. – Med tanke på det stora globala intresset ägnas ett särskilt kapitel åt Nobelpriset i litteratur: dess tillkomst, reglerna för nominering av kandidater och val av pristagare, Akademiens prisarbete och de genom åren växlande kriterierna för bedömningen av kandidater. Boken avslutas med en fullständig förteckning över Nobelpristagare 1901−2023, med prismotiveringar.

The Swedish Academy has gained worldwide recognition through its annual awarding of the Nobel Prize in Literature, first presented in 1901. But the Academy has a far longer history: it was founded in 1786 by King Gustav III to promote Swedish language and literature – still its main purpose.

This booklet, now in its third revised edition, provides a condensed review of the Academy’s foundation, history and current activities. A special section deals with the Nobel Prize in Literature: the background, the formal rules for the nomination of candidates and the choice of laureate, the Academy’s work on the Prize and, not least, the criteria for the Academy’s assessment of candidates throughout different periods. A full list of laureates 1901−2023, with prize citations, is appended.
