Royal Society of Literature
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Royal Society of Literature is the "senior literary organisation in Britain." It was founded in 1820 by George IV, with the aim to "reward literary merit and excite literary talent."
The Society has an annual magazine, RSL, and administers a number of literary prizes and awards, including the Ondaatje Prize, the Jerwood Awards and the V. S. Pritchett Memorial Prize. It can confer the honour of Companion of Literature for writers of particular note. It also awards the Benson Medal for lifetime service in the field of literature.
