BUTLER (KEMBLE), Fanny.
Journal. By Frances Anne Butler.
Philadelphia: Carey, Lea & Blanchard, 1835. In two volumes. First U.S. edition. 8vo., orig. purple cloth, paper spine labels, 222, (12); 218, (36)pp. Spines and perimeter of boards faded to tan, o/w an about fine copy.
Fanny Kemble [1809-1893] celebrated actress, novelist and poet born into the famous theatrical Kemble family. Her father was part owner and manager of Covent Garden Theatre; her aunt, Sarah Kemble Siddons, won acclaim as "the greatest actress the world has ever seen." Fanny Kemble first appeared at Covent Garden in 1829 where she won instant acclaim. While on tour in the U.S. in 1834 she married Pierce Butler, a wealthy Georgia planter. Discovering that her husbands wealth came from slave operated plantations, Kemble, a committed libertarian was horrified with the fact her husband "owned" people. Butler never understood Fanny's ethical stand and they were later embroiled in an ugly and bitter divorce that deprived Fanny of both her children and her home. The above work provides an account of her travels in the United States and it was met with severe reviews both in England and America. "This uncomfortably gauche work's indiscretions offended numerous prominent Americans."
