Here is a list of all Pulitzer Prize winners in alphabetical order by author's last name. While many of these will be in the Listings, many more are either too old and obscure to be of interest, or too new and unproven to be considered a "classic." Do note:
- "F" after the year denotes a finalist
- "W" denotes a winner
When an author has been a winner or finalist for more than one book, those books are listed after the authors' names by year.
For lists of Prizes by category, see the Wikipedia articles:
Even more information may be found at the official Pulitzer site.
A number of "Special Citations" have been given in various fields; I have listed here only those who were already on Baquet's Guide. The full list may be found at Wikipedia.
