The James Joyce Society was officially formed in February, 1947 at the Gotham Book Mart, 41 West 47th Street in midtown Manhattan. ("New York" has never been part of its name, as it was the first organization devoted to Joyce.) The first to pay membership dues was T.S. Eliot. The JJS story parallels much of the history of Joyce reception and dissemination in that the group owes its existence to a woman, in this case , owner and proprietor of the Gotham–"the Sylvia Beach of New York," She proposed the study group that would eventually become the JJS; the group was apparently meeting as early as 1939 (which we know ). See W.G. , and Bowen’s "" (Joyce Studies Annual Volume 12, Summer 2001.)
