Ernest Poole (1880-1950) was an American journalist, novelist, and playwright.  Winner in 1918 of the first Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, Poole is best remembered for his sympathetic first-hand reportage of revolutionary Russia during and immediately after the Revolutions of 1905 and 1917 and as a popular writer of proletarian-tinged fiction during the era of World War I and the 1920s.
