The 1914 Nobel Prize in Literature was not awarded when the committee's deliberations were upset by the beginning of World War I (1914–1918).[1] Thus, the prize money was allocated to the Special Fund of this prize section.[2] This was the first occasion in Nobel history that the prize was not conferred.
