Editing Reform Club (section)

==Literary associations==
Besides having had many distinguished members from the literary world, including [[William Makepeace Thackeray]] and [[Arnold Bennett]], the Reform played a role in some significant events, such as the feud between [[Oscar Wilde]]'s friend and literary executor [[Robbie Ross]] and Wilde's ex-lover [[Lord Alfred Douglas]]. In 1913, after discovering that Lord Alfred had taken lodgings in the same house as himself with a view to stealing his papers, Ross sought refuge at the club, from where he wrote to [[Edmund Gosse]], saying that he felt obliged to return to his rooms "with firearms".<ref>Maureen Borland, ''Wilde's Devoted Friend: a Life of Robert Ross'' (1990), p. 201.</ref>

[[Harold Owen]], the brother of [[Wilfred Owen]], called on [[Siegfried Sassoon]] at the Reform after Wilfred's death.<ref>Christian Major, "Sassoon's London: the Reform Club", ''Siegfried's Journal'', no 12 (July 2007), pp. 5–13.</ref> Sassoon wrote a poem entitled "Lines Written at the Reform Club", which was printed for members at Christmas 1920.<ref>Russell Burlingham & Roger Billis, ''Reformed Characters: The Reform Club in History and Literature'' (2005), p. 34.</ref>
