Some Famous People called Harry Martinson
Harry Martinson
Harry Martinson (6May 1904 – 11February 1978) was a Swedish author, poet and former sailor. In 1949 he was elected into the Swedish Academy. He was awarded a joint Nobel Prize in Literature in 1974 together with fellow Swede Eyvind Johnson "for writings that catch the dewdrop and reflect the cosmos". The choice was controversial, as both Martinson and Johnson were members of the academy.
He has been called "the great reformer of 20th-century Swedish poetry, the most original of the writers called 'proletarian'."
