Nobel Prize Winners in Literature List (1901 to 2022)

Information about the Nobel Prize in Literature:

The Nobel Prize is the world's highest award given in the field of literature. The prize has been awarded annually by the Nobel Foundation since 1901 to an author of any country who, according to the will of Sir Alfred Nobel, "has made a significant contribution to the field of literature", although the individual's work is sometimes particularly noteworthy. No, the work here refers solely to the work of the author. It is the Swedish Academy that decides in which year to give this award.

The Academy announces the name of the selected winner in early October. It is one of the five Nobel Prizes that were established in 1895 in the will of Sir Alfred Nobel. Nobel Prizes are also given in the field of chemistry, in the field of physics, in the field of peace, and in the field of medicine and physiology. In the year 2020, New York-born writer Louise Gluck was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature for 2020. She was given the award by The Royal Swedish Academy for her novel "her unmatched poetic voice that beautifully universalises individual existence".
