History
[edit]The Académie française, also known as the French Academy, created the Prix Marcelin Guérin in 1872.[1] The annual literary prize, awarded by the Academy for the first time in 1874, was founded by the late Marcelin Guérin.[2] Its purpose was to recognize newly produced works in history, eloquence, and literature that were most likely to bring distinction to France.[1]
The prize was awarded for the first time to Alphonse Dantier for his work entitled "Italy, Historical Studies (2 vol.)" (French: L'Italie, études historiques).[3] That year, the prize sum was valued at $4,000.[2]
