This year’s essay contents topic was Jane Austen in the Arts
As the JASNA website stated:
“Jane Austen played the piano, embroidered, and attended art exhibits and the theater. The arts also played a role in her novels. In your essay, discuss how Austen uses the arts – whether to reveal character, address social standing, advance the plot, or otherwise make a point.”
