Dylan, 75, was honoured "for having created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition," the Swedish Academy said.
A draft of the lyrics for Bob Dylan’s protest song A Hard Rain’s A-Gonna Fall was up for auction in London fetched up to 200,000 pounds ($314,000), last year.
Bob Dylan’s lyrics gonna be auctioned
The typewritten manuscript, with the date 1962, contains many scribbled revisions and scratching-outs to the song that Dylan recorded in December 1962 and released on the album The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan the following year.
A 2014 auction of Dylan’s 1965 original handwritten lyrics for Like a Rolling Stone fetched just over $2 million at Sotheby’s in New York, setting a record for a rock music manuscript.
