The English Goethe Society (EGS)
The Society was founded in 1886 for the purpose of promoting the study of Goethe’s work and thought. It is the oldest learned society devoted to German studies in the UK, and the second of all Goethe societies. In 1891 the Society’s scope was extended, so that, while always keeping Goethe as its main focus, the attention of its members might also be directed to other fields of German culture. The Society meets five or six times a year in London. Apart from the main event of the evening — a paper delivered by a guest speaker — there is also an opportunity for members to meet over a glass of sherry before the paper and to engage in discussion with the speaker afterwards. In addition to its learned aims, members value the Society’s sociable atmosphere. The Society welcomes as members all those who support its aims, academics and non-academics alike. Meetings take place in Senate House, Malet Street, London, but the Society’s membership is drawn from all parts of the UK and Ireland, and members from outside London are among the most active participants; the Society also has members in Germany, the USA, and Australia. As part of their entitlement members receive the thrice-yearly Publications of the English Goethe Society (PEGS) which publishes the lectures and prize-winning essays that are first presented to its members as well as unsolicited papers and conference proceedings on subjects of interest to members.
