Sir Israel Gollancz Memorial Lectures

A bequest from Mrs Frida Mond (d. 1923) added to the English Language/Literature Fund she had begun in 1910, and provided for both a 'lecture, or paper, or monograph' and a prize on Anglo-Saxon and Early English Literature. The lecture was first delivered in 1924, and subsequently named after the Academy’s first Secretary, Sir Israel Gollancz.
