The website of the Jane Austen Society of Australia (JASA)
Jane Austen's contemporary Sir Walter Scott described her as having "...the exquisite touch, which renders ordinary commonplace things and characters interesting, from the truth of the description and the sentiment". Scott's admiration for Jane has been shared by generations of readers in all parts of the world for nearly two centuries.
The Jane Austen Society of Australia was founded in July 1989 to bring together admirers of Jane Austen in this part of the world.
We are scholars, enthusiasts, amateurs and professionals, gathering on equal terms to study and celebrate the genius of Jane Austen.
We are interested in Jane's life, her writings and the era that gave shape to them both.
Sensibilities, the journal of the Jane Austen Society of Australia, is published twice-yearly (June and December), and sent to all members free. The journal includes transcripts of presentations at JASA meetings, and other items of interest to members, including book and film reviews, and is praised for its consistently high literary standards.
The JASA Chronicle published twice yearly (June and December) and sent to all members free. It contains news and views, book reviews and articles by JASA members and others.
