  • In Search of Fanny Kemble and Her Georgian Plantation Journal: an Historical Appreciation by TIMOTHY B
    In Search of Fanny Kemble and Her Georgian Plantation Journal: An Historical Appreciation By TIMOTHY B. BIRD One hundred and thirty years ago, a Victorian gentlewoman of refinement, sophistication, and accomplishment, to a degree remark­ able even in that age of widespread individual achievement, visited for some three months the distinctive region of the American South known as the Sea Islands of the Georgia coast. While there, the lady-Frances Anne Kemble 1-kept a lengthy record of her impres­ sions, activities, and reactions as she lived and moved within the society of "the Golden Isles." These observations were in the form of letters which she intended to pass on to a circle of her friends in New England. The resulting account, a series of vivid and highly critical commentaries on Southern life, was duly circulated, read, and discussed among Miss Kemble's Yankee acquaintances, but only after her return from Georgia.2 She had found much of interest to relate. The islands, abundant with wildlife and lush in vegetation, had in the decades since the Revolutionary War become the favored site of a prosperous planta­ tion culture, devoted to the production of rice and a type of long­ staple cotton so valued that it took its name from the sea islands whereon it was bred. 3 In accord with the economic pattern by then 1. Born in 1809, Miss Kemble was one of Britain's foremost actresses from the time of her debut at the age of 21. A member of the famous theatrical family which included Sarah Siddons and John, Richard and Charles Kemble, she was well-known in England and on the Continent long before she came to America on tour in 1832.
