Description: You are considering a trade paperback book, FANNY KEMBLE'S CIVIL WARS by Catherine Clinton; PUBLISHER; Oxford University Press, 2000 copyright, has 302 pages. A biography of Fanny Kemble. A British stage star turned Georgia plantation mistress, Fanny Kemble is perhaps best known as America's most unlikely abolitionist, whose passionate writings against human bondage made her a heroine of the Union cause. By the mid-1830s, American society was firmly in the grip of Kembles celebrity as an actress-young ladies adopted Fanny Kemble curls, a tulip was named in her honor, and lecture attendance at Harvard fell so sharply on afternoons of Kembles matinees that professors threatened to cancel classes.her role in society changed drastically after her bitter and short-lived marriage to the heir of a Georgia plantation owner, whom she derisively called her lord and master. We witness the publication of Journal of a Residence on a Georgia Plantation, in which Kemble hauntingly records the simple horror and misery she saw among the slaves. The raw power of her words made for an influential anti-slavery tract, which swayed European sentiment toward the Union cause. The book was embraced by Northern critics as a permanent and most valuable chapter in our history (Atlantic Monthly Press). In FANNY KEMBLES CIVIL WARS, Catherine Clinton reveals how one womans life reflected in microcosm the public battles-over slavery, the role of women, and sectionalism-that fueled our nations greatest conflict CONDITION: Light wear to cover.
