Informations supplémentaires

The Reverend David Williams was a Welsh philosopher, theologian and ordained dissenting minister. In 1790, inspired by the death of Floyer Sydenham (a translator of Plato's dialogues) in a debtor's prison, he founded the Royal Literary Fund. The fund was to help British writers that were in financial difficulties and has existed ever since. In its history the fund has extended help to writers such as Coleridge, Richard Jefferies, James Joyce and Mervyn Peake. It is financed by donations and royalties bequeathed by writers, earning royalties from the estates of Rupert Brooke, Arthur Ransome and A A Milne among others. Williams died in 1816 and was buried in St Anne's churchyard in Soho, where there is this plaque to his memory.
