Beschreibung
This volume concentrates on the first ever awarded Pulitzer
Prizes during the World War year 1917. Awards only were
given in four catagories – Reporting, Editorial Writing,
Biography/Autobiography and American History. Biographical
sketches about the four winners are followed by explanations
of the circumstances under which the prizes were selected.
The award-winning pieces are reprinted in the original
typography of the time when they were evaluated by the
juries. Attached are lists of award-recipients from the four
categories over the span from 1917 to 2020. A Bibliography
of all works dealing with the Pulitzer Prize history,
published between 1917 and 2021, concludes the book.
Heinz-Dietrich Fischer, EdD, PhD, is
Professor Emeritus at the Ruhr-University of Bochum,
Germany.
