Bibliography

Louis Bromfield (December 27, 1896 – March 18, 1956) was an American Pulitzer prize winning author and conservationist. A bestselling novelist in the 1920s, with over 33 published books, he reinvented himself as a farmer in the late 1930s and became one of the earliest proponents of sustainable and organic agriculture in the United States. Bromfield won the Pulitzer Prize in 1927 for his fictional book- Early Autumn.  

The Pulitzer Prize for Fiction is one of the seven American Pulitzer Prizes that are annually awarded for Letters, Drama, and Music. It recognizes distinguished fiction by an American author, preferably dealing with American life, published during the preceding calendar year. As the Pulitzer Prize for the Novel, it was one of the original Pulitzers; the program was inaugurated in 1917 with seven prizes, four of which were awarded that year. No Novel prize was awarded in 1917; the first was awarded in 1918
