Who lost to Jimenez in the 1956 Nobel Prize in Literature?

Answer 1

"However, unlike many other awards, the Nobel Prize nominees are never publicly announced, and they are not supposed to be told that they were ever considered for the prize. These records are sealed for 50 years to avoid turning the awarding of the prize into a popularity contest."

-- from http://experts.about.com/e/n/no/Nobel_Prize.htm

So this is year 50. Maybe next Winter the 1956 nominee list will be made public.

Answer 2

The Nobel Prize rules say the nominees are sealed for 50 years, and that was exactly 50 years ago, so I would imagine the list should be made available in some fashion some time this year.

But I can't find it anywhere on the web at the moment.

Answer 3

Approximately 50 other nominated writers.

Answer 4

All other poet at the time.
