The JBS was formed in 2018 to promote, perpetuate, and enhance the study and appreciation of the literary work of the American writer Jonathan Bayliss (1926-2009) and to encourage scholarship relating to his life, philosophy, and historical and literary context. 

We invite all who share an interest in Jonathan Bayliss's life, in subjects he cared about, in his novels, dramatic writing, or political essays to become a member and participate in our online and in-person activities.

We are an all-volunteer, 501(c)(3) charitable organization, EIN 83-1891575. Our bylaws are available here.

Correspondence may be addressed to info@jonathanbayliss.org or to Jonathan Bayliss Society, 11 Rocky Pasture Road, Gloucester MA 01930 USA.
