The Home of JaneAustenProject.org

The Jane Austen Project is a group, founded in October 2009, for enthusiasts and scholars of Jane Austen's world, in Oxford and beyond.

We were established to discuss the life, times and works of the author, to visit places important in her life, to dress in Regency finery, and to perform her music and dances!

The Austen family had links to the city and University of Oxford: we are engaging in research to find out more about Jane's schooling here, and the family's association with Brasenose and St John's College.

We also have strong interest in the music of the period, and the historical aspects of domestic performance: Jane pulled together a large corpus of contemporary and traditional works, adding her own embellishments and arrangements for performing them at home.

We are endeavouring to have a meeting every couple of months, normally in North Oxford, but hoping to make use of College buildings where possible for larger events.
