1974 Nobel Prize in Literature (original) (raw)
The 1974 Nobel Prize in Literature was awarded jointly to Swedish authors Eyvind Johnson (1900–1976) "for a narrative art, farseeing in lands and ages, in the service of freedom" and Harry Martinson (1904–1978) "for writings that catch the dewdrop and reflect the cosmos." The winners were announced in October 1974 by Karl Ragnar Gierow, permanent secretary of the Swedish Academy, and later sparked heavy criticisms from the literary world.

| dbo:abstract | The 1974 Nobel Prize in Literature was awarded jointly to Swedish authors Eyvind Johnson (1900–1976) "for a narrative art, farseeing in lands and ages, in the service of freedom" and Harry Martinson (1904–1978) "for writings that catch the dewdrop and reflect the cosmos." The winners were announced in October 1974 by Karl Ragnar Gierow, permanent secretary of the Swedish Academy, and later sparked heavy criticisms from the literary world. At the award ceremony on 10 December 1974, Karl Ragnar Gierow of the Swedish Academy said that Johnson and Martinson "are representative of the many proletarian writers or working-class poets who, on a wide front, broke into our literature, not to ravage and plunder, but to enrich it with their fortunes. Their arrival meant an influx of experience and creative energy, the value of which can hardly be exaggerated." It is the fourth (after 1904, 1917, and 1966), and as of yet last, occasion when the Nobel Prize in Literature has been shared between two individuals. (en) Nobelpriset i litteratur 1974 tilldelades Eyvind Johnson och Harry Martinson. Motiveringen för Johnson var "För en i länder och tider vittskådande berättarkonst i frihetens tjänst" och för Martinson "För ett författarskap som fångar daggdroppen och speglar kosmos." Det var femte gången priset utdelats till svenska författare och första gången det delades mellan två svenska författare. Vid prisutdelningen den 10 december 1974 framhävde Karl Ragnar Gierow i sitt tal att Johnson och Martinson var "representativa för det uppbåd av proletärförfattare eller arbetardiktare, som på bred front bröt in i vår litteratur inte för att härja och plundra utan för att berika den med sina förmögenheter".
