The Norwegian Society (''Norske Selskab'') was a literary society for Norwegian students in Copenhagen active from 1772 to 1813. Its members included authors, poets and philosophers. The Norwegian Society was formed in 1772 by Ove Gjerløw Meyer. Their meeting place was Madame Juel's Coffeehouse (''madame Juels Kaffehus'') in the ''Læderstræde''.〔The Drama; Its History, Literature and Influence on Civilization: Alfred Bates, James Penny Boyd, John Porter Lamberton – 1903 "Wessel's name is inseparably connected with the so-called Norwegian Society, of which he was the most prominent member.

The club considered itself culturally conservative and devoted to the rationalistic empirical style of Ludvig Holberg. The members of the Norwegian Society are often viewed as playing a central role in the wakening of Norwegian patriotic awareness at the close of the 18th century. Many of the poems and plays had patriotic themes. The society was discontinued in 1813 after the battle was won to establish the first Norwegian university, but a new gentlemen's club with the same name started in 1818.〔(Norske Selskab history )〕 == Central members == *Johannes Ewald (1743–81) *Johan Nordahl Brun (1745–1816) *N.
