| 词源 | P.E.N. P.E.N. is the acronym for the International Associa- tion of Poets, Playwrights, Editors, Essayists, and Novelists, founded in 1921 by Catherine Dawson Scott and John Galswor- thy, who set up a trust fund for the organization in 1932 with his Nobel Prize money. The organization was named P.E.N. when someone pointed out at the first meeting that the initial letters of poet, essayist, and novelist were the same in most Euro- pean languages and could serve as the appellation. |
