Welcome to the Sylvia Townsend Warner Society
The Sylvia Townsend Warner Society was launched in January 2000 in Dorchester by a group of enthusiasts, assembling for an inaugural meeting at the County Museum. The main aim of the Society is to promote a wide readership for and a better understanding of the writings of Sylvia Townsend Warner.
We provide a wide range of information on Sylvia Townsend Warner. Please follow the links on the top of each page to learn about Sylvia's life, her works and the reception of her work by the general public and literary critics. Learn more about the Sylvia Townsend Warner Society.

Back Copies of Society Journals
The Society has a large number of back copies of our Journals, the first being published in 2000. So we have decided to offer these for sale at the truly bargain price of £2.50 ($5.00) each, instead of the current price of £5.00. This is a great opportunity, particularly for any researchers, members who have recently joined the Society or for anyone who would like a new copy of old favourites. Copies of all the Journals from 2000 right through to 2008 are available. Go to our Publications Page for a full list of all the Journals’ contents.
Furthermore, the Society has one remaining copy of Valentine Ackland's Journey from Winter – Selected Poems (ed. Frances Bingham). This is available to members to purchase for the special price of £15.00 each (inc. p&p).
If you would like to make a purchase please send a cheque made out to ‘The Sylvia Townsend Warner Society’ for the appropriate amount and send to Judith Bond, 26 Portwey Close, Weymouth, DT4 8RF, indicating which item you want to purchase and including your contact details.
There are also copies available of most of the Society’s Newsletters which will now be sold at £1.00 ($2.00) each. The articles in these are indicated on the alphabetical list of contributors on the Publications Page.
