1940 Nobel Prize in Literature
Award / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 1940 Nobel Prize in Literature was not awarded when the Nobel committee's deliberations were upset by the start of World War II on September 1, 1939.[1] Instead, the prize money was allocated with 1/3 to the Main Fund and with 2/3 to the Special Fund of this prize section.[2] This was the fourth occasion in Nobel history that the prize was not conferred.
