The English Association was founded in 1906 by a small group of English teachers and scholars, including F.S.Boas, A.C. Bradley and Sir Israel Gollancz. It took a leading part in the movement to develop English studies in schools, while encouraging advanced studies in further education. Past Presidents of the Association have included John Galsworthy, Harley Granville-Barker, Sir Kenneth Clark and George Steiner. The English Association today is an international organisation with branches and members in Britain and throughout the world.
