SPEBL (The Society for the Promotion of Elegant British Literature) is a society that was designed by four elegant (American) ladies who have a deep (and some would call obsessive) love for all things British.
Our society had its first meeting on March 19, 2011; this meeting was so successful that we were able to indoctrinate one young tween enough to make her want to be the newest member of our society.
The purpose of this society is to spread the word to all Americans, men and women alike, who are currently ignorant of the joys great British literature can bring into one's life. Our desire is to create a nationwide love for Austen, Gaskell, Bronte, and many others. We now invite you to join in our celebration of classic British literature!
"My idea of good company...is the company of clever, well-informed people, who have a great deal of conversation; that is what I call good company.' 'You are mistaken,' said he gently, 'that is not good company, that is the best."
