Jane Austen Society of North America
2005 Annual General Meeting

October 7-9, 2005
Hyatt Regency Hotel, Milwaukee, Wisconsin


Welcome!


The letter which I have this moment received from you has diverted me beyond moderation.
  —Jane Austen to her sister, Cassandra, September 1, 1796

The Wisconsin Region invites you to Milwaukee for the 2005 Annual General Meeting celebrating “Jane Austen’s Letters in Fact and Fiction.” The conference is dedicated to our muse and mentor, Joan Philosophos, who presided over the region for many years. Joan bequeathed to us her fascination with Austen’s letters—the dozens used in the novels, as well as Austen’s personal correspondence. The AGM will divert JASNA members with speakers, exhibits, and entertainment on this epistolary theme and unique tours to sites on the shores of Lake Michigan.
