English Literature

About Us

English Literature Society is an open and inclusive society for anyone with a love of literature. English students and those from other disciplines are equally welcomed, and the society aims to be a space for sharing a passion of literature in all of its forms. Events such as book club meetings, book swaps, literary themed trips to London, and pub nights mean that there’s something for every bookworm in English Literature Society.

Membership

A year’s membership is £5. This goes towards the running of the club, and gives you access to our weekly events. We think this is a reasonable ask for a year of book-loving fun!

Events and Activities

Over the next year we will hopefully be offering the following:

Pub nights. Behind many famous works of literature is a good drink.
Quizzes. Do you know your Bronte from your Austen? This is a non-judgement zone, we promise...
Book swaps - a brilliant way to try something you might have never have tried and a chance to force your favourites upon other, unsuspecting, members!

More events include fundraisers, bookshop crawls, reading sessions in Windsor park, and creative writing competitions.
