Prix James Tait Black

Le prix Ă  la mĂ©moire de James Tait Black est le plus ancien et l'un des plus importants prix littĂ©raires britanniques. Il rĂ©compense chaque annĂ©e depuis 1919 des auteurs Ă©crivant en langue anglaise et se divise en deux catĂ©gories : la fiction et la biographie. Il dĂ©pend de l'universitĂ© d'Édimbourg, en Écosse. Chacun des laurĂ©ats reçoit la somme de 10 000 ÂŁ, la plus Ă©levĂ©e pour un prix littĂ©raire en Écosse.

Histoire

Quatre lauréats du prix Nobel de littérature se sont vu décerner le prix James Tait Black au début de leur carrière : William Golding, Nadine Gordimer, J. M. Coetzee et Doris Lessing.

Parmi les lauréats du prix James Tait Black dans les deux catégories, on peut citer D. H. Lawrence, E. M. Forster, John Buchan, Robert Graves, Graham Greene, Evelyn Waugh, Aldous Huxley, Quentin Bell, Muriel Spark, Angela Carter, Lawrence Durrell, John le Carré, J. G. Ballard, Margaret Drabble, Salman Rushdie, Antonia Fraser (cinq ans après sa mère, Elizabeth Longford), Martin Amis ou Cormac McCarthy.

Enfin, une traduction-adaptation en langue anglaise a reçu le prix dans la catégorie fiction en 1942 : celle du Voyage en Occident (ou Le Singe pèlerin), grand classique de la littérature chinoise, par le sinologue Arthur Waley.

SĂ©lection

Les gagnants sont choisis par les professeurs de littérature anglaise de l'université, assistés de doctorants pour la phase de pré-sélection, et c'est cette structure qui donne au prix sa crédibilité. L'absence de sponsor et de figure médiatique au sein du jury est également un facteur de confiance.

Conditions d'éligibilité

Seules les Ĺ“uvres de fiction ou biographiques rĂ©digĂ©es en anglais et publiĂ©es pour la première fois au Royaume-Uni dans les 12 mois prĂ©cĂ©dant la date de soumission sont Ă©ligibles. Les deux prix peuvent ĂŞtre attribuĂ©s au mĂŞme auteur, mais aucun prix ne peut ĂŞtre attribuĂ© deux fois.
