(for those interested in UK-wide historical contexts of & #39;state-sponsored& #39; literature, including prizes, take a look at @asha_pb& #39;s recent book ( https://global.oup.com/academic/product/state-sponsored-literature-9780198857761?cc=gb&lang=en&#)">https://global.oup.com/academic/... and website ( https://statesponsoredliterature.com/ ))">https://statesponsoredliterature.com/">... 7/
