The 1925 Nobel Prize in Literature was awarded to the Irish playwright George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950) "for his work which is marked by both idealism and humanity, its stimulating satire often being infused with a singular poetic beauty."[1] The prize was awarded in 1926.[1] Shaw was the second Irish Nobel laureate in literature after W. B. Yeats won in 1923.[2]
