Praise for JASP
“This was so amazing, even more so than I thought it would be. I can’t wait until next year!”
“JASP gets better every year … Worth every penny, and I can’t recommend it highly enough for anyone interested in Austen and her works.”
“I regularly teach Austen at the college level, and this program routinely sends me back to the classroom with more knowledge and more practical ways to make Austen live for my students...”
“The ball is ALWAYS wonderful and is something I look so forward to each year!”
