Biographical History
American author.
Ernest Poole was born into a well-to-do Chicago family, was educated at Princeton, and settled in New York City. He became an investigative journalist, publishing provocative articles on child labor, tuberculosis in the slums, and the Chicago stockyards; he travelled to Russia after Bloody Sunday, and wrote some twenty articles in his two-month stay. He also wrote novels and plays, finding success with his memorable novel, The Harbor; he won the 1918 Pulitzer Prize for fiction for The Family, the first novel to be so awarded. His later fiction was undistinguished. Poole was a socialist, although not active in the Socialist party, and much of his work reflects his sympathy for the common man.
