Hawthornden Prize
The Hawthornden Prize is a British literary award given annually to a British, Irish or British-based author for a work of "imaginative literature" – including poetry, novels, history, biography and creative non-fiction – published in the previous calendar year. The prize is for a book in English, not for a translation. Previous winners of the prize are excluded from the shortlist. The Hawthornden Prize was established in 1919 by Alice Warrender. It, and the James Tait Black Memorial Prizes, are Britain's oldest literary awards.
