Which Nobel Prize in Literature laureate won in 1925 after writing plays such as Pygmalion?

George Bernard Shaw won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1925 after writing plays such as Pygmalion.

Shaw was an Irish playwright, critic, and political thinker born in Dublin in 1856. His dramas often used wit, debate, and social satire to examine class, marriage, economics, language, and political reform.

Pygmalion, first staged in 1913, later inspired the musical My Fair Lady. Other major plays include Man and Superman, Major Barbara, and Saint Joan. The Nobel committee recognized both his idealistic writing and the distinctive combination of satire and beauty in his work.

Shaw accepted the prize but declined its monetary award, explaining that he had enough money and joking about the value of dynamite money. His Nobel year was 1925, although the prize was formally presented in 1926.
