She was, in her own words, irresistible as a "woman who has sat at dinner alongside Byron . . . and who calls Tennyson, Alfred. "Touring in America with her father in the early 1830's, Kemble impulsively wed the wealthy and charming Philadelphia bachelor Pierce Butler, beginning a tumultuous marriage that ended in a sensational divorce and custody battle fourteen years later. At the time of their marriage, Kemble had not yet visited the vast Georgia rice and cotton plantations to which Butler was heir. In the winter of 1838, they visited Butler's southern holdings, and a horrified Kemble wrote what would later be published on both sides of the Atlantic as Journal of a Residence on a Georgian Plantation. An important text for abolitionists, it revealed the inner workings of a plantation and the appalling conditions in which slaves lived. Returning to England after her divorce, she fashioned a new career as a solo performer of Shakespeare's plays and as the author of memoirs, several travel narratives and collections of poems, a short novel, and miscellaneous essays on the theater. For the rest of her life, she would divide her time between the two countries. In the various roles she performed in her life, on stage and off-abolitionist, author, estranged wife-Kemble remained highly theatrical, appropriating and subverting nineteenth-century prescriptions for women's lives, ever rewriting the roles to which she was assigned by society and inheritance. Hers was truly a performed life, and in the first Kemble biography in twenty-five years to examine that life in its entirety, Deirdre David presents it in all its richness and complexity. 606 $aActors$zGreat Britain$vBiography 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aActors 676 $a792.02/8092 676 $aB 700 $aDavid$b Deirdre$f1934-$0165504 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910462919703321 996 $aFanny Kemble$92447754 997 $aUNINA LEADER 02791oam 22007215 450 001 9910780500303321 005 20200520144314.0 010 $a1-280-08477-4 010 $a9786610084777 010 $a0-585-49694-3 024 7 $a10.1596/0-8213-5699-2 035 $a(CKB)111087027998130 035 $a(EBL)3050652 035 $a(OCoLC)54532215 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000089724 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11119683 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000089724 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10092769 035 $a(PQKB)11542293 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC3050652 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL3050652 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10050484 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL8477 035 $a(The World Bank)2003064622 035 $a(US-djbf)13386422 035 $a(EXLCZ)99111087027998130 100 $a20031028d2003 uf 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcn||||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 00$aSubnational data requirements for fiscal decentralization : $ecase studies from Central and Eastern Europe /$fedited by Serdar Yilmaz, Jozsef Hegedus, Michael E.
