Welcome to the Society.

About

Our Mission

The Tea and Tomes Society is a social and intellectual salon focused on a love of books, conversation, and tea. Our society’s work has a special focus on nineteenth-century literature and culture, but our scholarly interests are eclectic and wide-ranging.

We promote collaboration and connections between scholars of all levels (professionals, students, independent researchers, and those with personal interests), both formally and informally.

As an organization based in the Twin Cities, we aim to foster engagement with the history of the community through society outings.

A glimpse at where we’ve been, what we’ve done, and what we’ve been discussing.

Spill the tea with us

There’s always room at the table for another curious mind.

“It is a narrow mind which cannot look at a subject from various points of view.”

George Elliot

Middlemarch (1871-72)
