Fanny Kemble was a popular British-American actress and bestselling memoirist. Her several journals are "rich psychological and cultural documents," with "keen insights into the enormous changes transforming" America (Mainiero American Women Writers II:446). Her best-known work is now the abolitionist Journal of A Residence on a Georgian Plantation, 1838-1839 (1863), which contains her first-hand observations on slavery during her brief marriage to a Southern plantation owner.
