Welcome!
JASM is a not-for-profit organisation that was founded by Carla Hawley in 1993. We are a literary society looking to always expand our thinking around all things Austen.
About Us
Jane Austen's writings have been an inspiration to many generations and her works continue to be read and studied. Over 200 years after her death, her books are still in print and are treasured throughout the world.
Join us in keeping this wonderful Society and the passion for Jane Austen alive and well in Melbourne.
INSPIRATION
"How pleasant it is to spend an evening in this way! I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading! How much sooner one tires of anything than of a book! When I have a house of my own, I shall be miserable if I have not an excellent library."
Pride and Prejudice, Chapter 11
“You pierce my soul. I am half agony, half hope.”
Persuasion Chapter 23
