The Zetosophian Society was a literary group which operated in London in the second decade of the 19th century. The Zetosophian (meaning 'I seek wisdom') society was composed of 14 men[1] and included among its membership John Hamilton Reynolds,[2]Benjamin Bailey,[2] and James Rice, all of whom went on to be friends of John Keats, though Keats himself was not a member. The society worked at providing feedback on each members literary works.[3] Each member was expected to read and write one essay each month.[2] The society disbanded in 1815 after disputes between the members.[3]
