THE INTERNATIONAL SPENSER SOCIETY is an international organization devoted to promoting and recognizing the reading and study of the works of Edmund Spenser. We sponsor two sessions each year at the Modern Language Association Convention and one session each year at the Renaissance Society of America Conference, and maintain relations as well to the Sixteenth-Century Studies Conference and Spenser at Kalamazoo. We have supported various Spenser-related activities (such as the 2001 Cambridge conference and the 2006 Toronto conference), we give a lifetime achievement award, the Colin Clout Award, and we also make an annual award, the Isabel MacCaffrey Award, for the best new article or book on Spenser. We have an active membership of about 350. Members of the Society receive as a benefit of membership a yearly subscription to the Spenser Review.
