Sully Prudom

On March 16, 1839, he was born to a middle-class family in Paris, France. At the age of two, his father died, and the future poet lived with his widowed mother and a sister in Château in Paris and southern Paris. According to the Times Literature, he had added the family¡¯s nickname ¡°Sully¡± to his father for hours.

Suri Prudom was a young engineer and studied law, but he was not interested in these professions that are seen by others as straightforward, but rather passionate about writing poetry, and at the age of 26 published the first collection of poems, The Poetry Collection, when the nine-word critical giant St. Buff praised Prudom, "the new movement put forward in poetry, proclaiming a world like the bush before dawn" (The Nobel Prize in Literature, Suri Prudom, Mommsen Volume, Taiwan Encyclopedia, 169 pages). Early poems primarily lyrical, singing deep inner sorrow and pain.

After "The Solitude", influenced by the ancient Roman poet Lucrecia, his poetry turned to a philosophical and philosophical thinking, attempting to combine science, philosophy and psychology, to explore "inner humanity", to create a poem of great depth, earth and humanity into one. He longed to explore the origin and essence of the world and the truth of life, "but he has no scientific cultivation and enthusiasm, but has no talent to write philosophy, and has not found a perspective to combine poetry with science and philosophy," although there are many philosophical words, but often only flow in empty teaching.

In 1901, the Swedish Academy awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature to Suri Prudom, who, due to health reasons, was unable to attend the grand ceremony held in Stockholm on 10 December, but was led by the French Ambassador to Sweden.

Character Achievement

In special recognition of his poetic composition, which gives evidence of lofty idealism, artistic perfection and a rare combination of the qualities of both heart and intellect.

Prudent was very famous, and for 35 years people have praised his skills and respected his philosophical views. In 1881, he was elected to the French College, and in 1894, when Charles-Marie-René de Rissler died, it was thought that Prudent could succeed him as the leader of the Gothic poets. At that time the group was very popular. At that time, critics were tired of so-called romantic sentimentalism, but were still unable to accept the new pattern of symbolism. At such a time, Prudent's Gothic lyricism became the norm for poetic achievement.

It was impossible for contemporaries to foresee that time would put him in the position of a little poet in a movement of much smaller significance than the symbolist poet, and at the time only the symbolist poet questioned his election.

The outcome was inevitable when the French Academy nominated its outstanding member, Prudom, as the first Nobel Prize winner in literature. Though individual and informal groups have already proposed other candidates, the newly established Nobel Prize committee did not fail to consider the recommendations made by a renowned group such as the French Academy.
