 PBS - The Nobel: Visions of Our Century
The Swedish Academy was founded in 1786 with the objective of working for the "purity, vigour and majesty" of the Swedish language.
At the dawn of the 20th century, after considerable deliberation, the members of the academy agreed to be the awarding institution for the Nobel Prize for literature, though this responsibility would require a great deal of their time and resources.
After this list is approved by the academy and returned, the committee submits a definitive list of five candidates in May and waits for a final approval from the academy.

 DESCARTES, RENE (1596-1650) - Online Information article about DESCARTES, RENE (1596-1650)
An invitation to the Swedish court was urged upon Descartes, and after much hesitation accepted; a vessel of the royal navy was ordered to wait upon him, and in September 1649 he left Egmond for the north.
The queen wished to bury him at the feet of the Swedish kings, and to raise a costly mausoleum in his honour; but' these plans were overruled, and a plain monument in the Catholic cemetery was all that marked the place of his rest.
The other members of the group are relative and dependent, and only to be understood as in various degrees subordinate to the primitive conception.

Members are forbidden to discuss their deliberations, but, even if they were not, they would have trouble finding the time: they are simply too busy savaging each other.
The mission of the academy was set in 1786 by its founder, Gustav III, the Francophile king of Sweden: He created it to protect the "purity, vigour, and majesty" of the Swedish language; the Nobel Prize, first awarded in 1901, was an afterthought, imposed upon the academy by the industrialist Alfred Nobel in his will.
Members spend their time in soft leather chairs and after their meetings they adjourn to dine in a private room in one of Stockholm's best restaurants.

 The Nobel Prize in Literature
A special regulation gave the right of nomination to members of the Swedish Academy and other academies, institutions and societies similar to it in constitution and purpose, and to university teachers of aesthetics, literature and history.
Two members of the Swedish Academy spoke strongly against accepting Nobel's legacy, for fear that the obligation would detract from the Academy's proper concerns and turn it into "a cosmopolitan tribunal of literature".
As guidelines for the distribution of the Literature Prize the Swedish Academy had the general requirement for all the prizes – the candidate should have bestowed "the greatest benefit on mankind" – and the special condition for literature, "in an ideal direction".

 American Experience | A Brilliant Madness | People & Events   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
The economics prize, the one that was so dramatically awarded to John Nash in 1994, was a stepchild created in 1968 not by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences and the Nobel Foundation, but by the Swedish Central Bank, who funds the prize, making it the "unofficial" Nobel.
Some members of the Swedish Academy, which oversees the selection process, originally dismissed the economics prize as a bad idea that cheapened the original prizes, yet for years grumbling Academy members accepted it as a fait accompli.
The behind-closed-doors conflagration would give Academy members an excuse and a momentum to completely overhaul the economics prize the next year, transforming it into a social sciences award that included political science, psychology, and sociology, as well as economics.

 The Nobel Prize in Literature: Nominations and Reports 1901–1950
The Academy also founded a Nobel Institute, to which a number of experts on literature in various languages were affiliated: one for the Slavic languages, one for French and Spanish, one for English and Dutch, one for Portuguese, one for German and the Scandinavian languages and one for Italian.
During this period the work of the Swedish Academy with the Nobel Prize was governed by special regulations on the award of the literature prize.
In 1905 there is already mention of "impugnment of the Academy in Italian newspapers from somewhat obscure sources" as a result of the award of the previous year's prize to Frédéric Mistral and José Echegaray and not to Giosuè Carducci.
