"It is such a happiness when good people get together-and they always do." Jane Austen, (Emma)
If you would like to meet other Austen enthusiasts in the Oklahoma area and beyond (whether or not you want to pursue her world conquest), the Jane Austen Society of Noth America (JASNA) is for you.
JASNA members are readers of all ages and backgrounds who admire Austen's novels. They also like to meet to discuss her life and work, attend special programs and enjoy the good company of fellow Janeites. Most of our 4,000+ members participate in the local activities of one or more of our regional groups across North America.
The Oklahoma Region of JASNA meets throughout the year to share many pleasures discussing Austen's novels; toasting her on her birthday (December 16); listening to lectures, panels and performances illuminating her writing, life, and era; learning English country dancing and 19th century card games and much more.
We welcome new members: those reading their first Austen novel and those who have re-read her books many times. You needn't be an Austen expert to feel at home in JASNA, though you may become one as you attend our meetings.
