Welcome!

Welcome to the official page of the William Gilmore Simms Society, a scholarly society established in 1993 and dedicated to facilitating the exchange of ideas about the life and work of William Gilmore Simms, one of 19th century America’s preeminent novelists, poets, and men-of-letters.

Here, you’ll find information about the Society–including membership information, Society news, a list of the Society’s officers, and its constitution and bylaws–as well as information about our annual meetings and links to Simms-related resources.

The Society is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization, and donations are tax-deductible in the United States. All donations are used to help the Society with its scholarly mission.
