Question

Steinbeck's "Nobel Prize Acceptance Speech" is mostly in praise of

Answer 1

I believe that the best answer for this question would be "other writers." Steinbeck discusses literature itself and the craft of writing in his speech. He references William Faulkner, another great writer, and also celebrates the "writer" as a profession. He also expresses doubt that his work is better than that of other writers. Hope this helps.
