The Literary London Society was founded in July 2011 to “foster interdisciplinary and historically wide-ranging research into London literature in its historical, social, and cultural contexts, to include all periods and genres of writing and representation about, set in, inspired by, or alluding to central and suburban London and its environs, from the city’s roots in pre-Roman times to its imagined futures.” To meet those aims, the Society publishes a journal, runs an annual conference, and supports a reading group. As the society grows, it hopes to run further events, seminars, and other activities. Follow the links below for more information.
