The foundations for the prize were laid in 1895 when Alfred Nobel wrote his last will, leaving much of his wealth to the establishment of the Nobel Prize.  The prize in literature is dedicated to the “person who shall have produced in the field of literature the most outstanding work in an ideal direction.” JOHN STEINBECK WON A NOBEL PRIZE IN LITERATURE IN 1962
