The Royal Society of Literature, founded by George IV in 1820, celebrates and nurtures all that is best in British literature, past and present. We organise roughly twenty-four events a year; make awards and grants to established and emerging writers; run regular Masterclasses with the Booker Prize Foundation; and campaign on issues affecting writers, such as the closure of local libraries or reductions in PLR payments.
The Royal Society of Literature presents a special poetry event with Robin Robertson and Alice Oswald, chaired by James Wood, at the Courtauld Institute of Art, Somerset House, London.
