Frances Anne Kemble (1809–93) was a famous London-born actress who travelled for several years throughout the United States before marrying the Philadelphian landowner and heir Pierce Butler. Her journal, first published in 1835 under her married name, shocked the American public for its ungenerous and often biting criticisms of the young country. Detailing Kemble's voyage to and tour of the United States, the journal contains first hand accounts of the cities of the eastern seaboard in the early nineteenth-century and the manners and customs of its people. Noted for its candid observations and strong personal style, Kemble's journal remains one of her most lasting literary works.
