From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
La Royal Society of Literature és l'organització superior de literatura a Gran Bretanya. Va ser fundada el 1820 pel rei Jordi IV, per tal de recompensar el mèrit literari i exercitar el talent literari. El primer president de la Societat va ser Thomas Burgess, qui esdevindria bisbe de Salisbury. Hi ha uns 450 Companys de la Royal Society of Literatura (habitualment es nomenen anualment 14 nous Companys), que tenen el privilegi d'usar el post-nominal FRSL.
