Мемориальные призы Джеймса Тейта - это литературные призы, присужденные за литературу, написанную на английском языке. Они, наряду с Боятерененной премией , являются старейшими литературными наградами Британии. [ 1 ] Расположенный в Эдинбургском университете в Шотландии , Великобритания , призы были основаны в 1919 году Джанет Коутс Черным в память о своем покойном муже, [ 2 ] Джеймс Тейт Блэк, партнер издательства A & C Black Ltd. [ 3 ] Призы присуждаются в трех категориях: художественная литература, биография и драма (с 2013 года).
История
[ редактировать ]С самого начала премия «Джеймс Тейт Блэк» была организована без явной рекламы. По крайней мере, было нехватка внимания прессы и издателя, по крайней мере, потому что Эдинбург был далеким от литературных центров страны. Решение о награде было принято председателем REGIUS по риторике и Belles Lettres в Эдинбургском университете. [ 1 ]
Four winners of the Nobel Prize in Literature received the James Tait Black earlier in their careers: William Golding, Nadine Gordimer and J. M. Coetzee each collected the James Tait Black for fiction, whilst Doris Lessing took the prize for biography. In addition to these literary Nobels, Sir Ronald Ross, whose 1923 autobiography Memoirs, Etc. received the biography prize, was already a Nobel laureate, having been awarded the 1902 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for his work on malaria.[4]
In 2012, a third prize category was announced for Drama, with the first winner of this award announced in August 2013.[3] The drama prize was paused after the 2019 award, during the COVID-19 pandemic, and as of March 2024[update] the university states that "submissions may re-open in January 2025".[5]
Selection process and prize administration
[edit]The winners are chosen by the Professor of English Literature at the university, who is assisted by postgraduate students in the shortlisting phase, a structure that is seen to lend the prizes considerable gravitas. At the award of the 2006 prizes, at which Cormac McCarthy was a winner, McCarthy's publisher commented positively on the selection process, noting that, in the absence of a sponsor and literary or media figures amongst the judging panel, the decision is made by "students and professors, whose only real agenda can be great books and great writing".[6] The original endowment is now supplemented by the university and, as a consequence, the total prize fund rose from 2005 awards.[7] Each of the three annual prizes—one for fiction, one for biography, and one for drama—is worth £10,000.[3][8] The university is advised in relation to the development and administration of the Prize by a small committee which includes Ian Rankin, Alexander McCall Smith and James Naughtie amongst its members. In August 2007 the prize ceremony was held at the Edinburgh International Book Festival for the first time.[9]
Eligibility
[edit]For the book prizes works of fiction and biographies must be written in English. The nationality of the author does not matter, but submissions must be first published (or co-published) in Britain during the calendar year of the award. Any given author can only win each prize once. However, he or she can win both prizes at the same time.
For the drama category, the work must be originally written in either English, Gaelic or Welsh, be produced first during the previous calendar year, have a playing time over one hour, and have been performed no fewer than seven times by a professional theatre company.[10][11]

Best of the James Tait Black (2012)
[edit]In 2012, a special prize was given called the 'Best of the James Tait Black' (in addition to the normal prize for that year).[37][38] The award celebrated the fiction winners over the past 93 years, as part of the 250th anniversary of the study of English Literature at the university. A shortlist of six previous winners competed for the title of Best. A judging panel of celebrity alumni and writers decided on the winner, which was announced on 6 December 2012 as Angela Carter's Nights at the Circus.[39]
