The Pulitzer Prize, started by New York World publisher Joseph Pulitzer (1847-1911), is awarded each year for books published the previous year. In 1948, the name of the category was changed from Novel to Fiction.

During some years (1917, 1920, 1941, 1946, 1954, 1957, 1964, 1971, 1974 and 1977) no award was given.
