The Nobel Prize in

Literature 1925 was

awarded to George

Bernard Shaw "for his

work which is marked

by both idealism and

humanity, its

stimulating satire often

being infused with a

singular poetic beauty."

George Bernard Shaw received his Nobel Prize one year

later, in 1926. During the selection process in 1925, the

Nobel Committee for Literature decided that none of the

year's nominations met the criteria as outlined in the will

of Alfred Nobel. According to the Nobel Foundation's

statutes, the Nobel Prize can in such a case be reserved

until the following year, and this statute was then applied.

George Bernard Shaw therefore received his Nobel Prize for

1925 one year later, in 1926.
