A large contingent of members and guests attended JASNA Southwest’s Winter 2016 Meeting, “Will and Jane,” on December 3 at Luminarias Restaurant in Monterey Park. The event explored the common ground shared by Jane Austen and William Shakespeare, two of the most legendary and enduring authors. Speakers were Janine Barchas — who recently co-curated the “Will & Jane” exhibit at the Folger Shakespeare Library in Washington, D.C. — and Sarah Raff, who spoke about the similarities between Mansfield Park and Shakespeare’s Measure for Measure.
