Attention high school, college and graduate students: The JASNA Essay Contest is now accepting entries for the 2010 contest. The topic is related to this year’s AGM in Portland, the theme of which is “Jane Austen and the Abbey: Mystery, Mayhem and Muslin”. Entries are to discuss how Jane Austen uses mayhem as a plot element in Northanger Abbey to increase our understanding of one or more of the characters. Details may be found at the JASNA website.
