1936 Governor General's Awards

Last updated

The 1936 Governor General's Awards for Literary Merit inaugurated Canada's annual program of Governor General's Awards, late in 1937 recognizing 1936 publications. [1] There were only two categories, fiction and non-fiction, English language only. [1] [2]

The awards were presented by Lord Tweedsmuir, then Governor General of Canada—and, as John Buchan, the noted author of The Thirty-Nine Steps [1] (1915, adapted as a 1935 film by Alfred Hitchcock).
