PEN Hessell-Tiltman Prize

The PEN Hessell-Tiltman Prize is awarded to the best work of non-fiction of historical content covering a period up to and including World War II, and published in the year of the award. The books are to be of high literary merit, but not primarily academic. The prize is organized by the English PEN. Marjorie Hessell-Tiltman was a member of PEN during the 1960s and 1970s; on her death in 1999 she bequeathed £100,000 to the PEN Literary Foundation to found a prize in her name.[1] Each year's winner receives £2,000.[1]

The award is one of many PEN awards sponsored by PEN International affiliates in over 145 PEN centres around the world.
