Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
The Nobel Prize Winners in Literature
Annie Russell Marble · 1925
58/100
👎 Skip It
Annie Russell Marble was a real, credentialed literary essayist, and this 1925 survey of Nobel laureates has genuine research and biographical craft behind it. But it stops in the mid-1920s/30s, so it's a dated snapshot rather than anything close to a complete picture of the prize today.
