Jane Austen Society of North America - Pittsburgh Region
The Pittsburgh region meets 4-6 times a year in various venues around the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania area. Some of these meetings include informal teas with group discussion. Some include a viewing and discussion of a movie adaptation of a Jane Austen novel.
Others are more formal luncheons. These luncheons feature speakers who discuss Jane Austen, her life, books, and movies, as well as Regency England.
In honour of #StPatricksDay, we give you 'The Irishman'; a song all about how Irish men make superior lovers! It's seen here within one of the Austen family music books, written out in Jane Austen's hand. Watch Lucy Worsley singing it here! >> https://buff.ly/2u6BClW 🎼 ☘️
Not yet Captain Wentworth, but make haste by this Friday! If you want to attend our March 30th event, a late fee goes into effect March 15, and all orders close March 22.

Dancing to Jane Austen’s Beat
An annual celebration, this year attended by some 300 costumed revelers, is one of the regular events around the country that unite both the novelist’s hard-core fans and period dance enthusiasts.

In watching Northanger Abbey last Saturday, we were reminded of John Thorpe’s mention of an old song “… I am glad you are no enemy to matrimony however. Did you ever hear the old song, 'Going to one wedding brings on another'? " Listen to the lyrics of “Old Maid in the Garret” which is a version of a ballad (The Wooing Maid) going back to the 17th century English songwriter Martin Parker.
