Frances Anne Kemble's 'Journal of a Residence on a Georgian Plantation in 1838-1839' has long been recognized by historians as unique in the literature of American slavery and invaluable for obtaining a clear view of the 'peculiar institution' and of life in the antebellum South. Fanny Kemble was one of the leading lights of the English stage in the nineteenth century. During a tour of America in the 1830s she met and married a wealthy Philadelphian Pierce Butler part of whose fortune derived from his family's vast cotton and rice plantation on the Sea Islands of Georgia. After their marriage she spent several months living on the plantation. Profoundly shocked by what she saw she recorded her observations of plantation life in a series of journal entries written as letters to a friend. But she never sent the letters and not until the Civil War was on and Fanny was divorced from Pierce Butler and living in England were they published. Kemble followed the success of these letters with the publication of a volume of plays translated from the German of Friedrich Schiller and the French of Alexandre Dumas.

1800307974London: Printed for N.T. Longman and O. Rees By G. Woodfall 1800. First edition of Coleridge's English translation. Engraved portrait. iv 214; ii ii general title 157 1 ads pp. with half-title to first part and general title "Wallenstein. A Drama in Two Parts" bound with second part. 8vo. Period half calf and marbled boards green morocco spine label. Some foxing to portrait and first few leaves. First edition of Coleridge's English translation. Engraved portrait. iv 214; ii ii general title 157 1 ads pp. with half-title to first part and general title "Wallenstein. A Drama in Two Parts" bound with second part. 8vo. The first English edition of Schiller's Wallenstein set in Germany during the Thirty Years War and translated by Samuel Taylor Coleridge from a manuscript copy of the first German edition of 1799. Coleridge completed much of the translation - a free and poetic translation in blank verse - at Lamb's home in London seated at his desk in "a voluminous five-penny floral dressing-gown decorated with hieroglyphics . looking suspiciously 'like a conjuror' according to Lamb" Holmes Coleridge: Early Visions p. 261. The translation which omitted the first part of Schiller's trilogy Wallenstein's Camp was done in part to capitalize on the contemporary fashion for Schiller whose verse-drama The Robbers Coleridge had long admired. It was one of many of Coleridge's translation schemes hatched during his time abroad studying the language and literature of Germany. "In the event the project was a financial disaster earning him only £50 in advances while Longman lost £250 on the combined editions" ibid p. 267. Despite that Coleridge "was proud of his work and long afterwards described it as 'a specimen of my happiest attempt during the prime manhood of my intellect before I had been buffeted by adversity or crossed by fatality" ibid p. 268.

194323161New York: The Macmillan Company. Very Good. 1943. First Edition. Hardcover. no dust jacket spine slightly turned light shelfwear to bottom edge small nick in cloth at bottom of front cover; vintage bookseller's label Kendrick Bellamy Denver on rear pastedown. Novel about a career woman a young widow who works as an account executive for a San Francisco ad agency who is sent by her boss for whom she's already set her cap on a working vacation to Baja California to check out the potential of a disused casino being refurbished and turned into a resort. While on this assignment she succumbs to the Mexican way of life falls in love with a local ranch owner and considers throwing it all over to stay down there. Then her boss shows up romantic and professional complications ensue and a hurricane helps them sort it all out. The New York Times critic faulted the book for lacking "that deep below-the-surface quality that might have given reality to her consciously contrived tale. Even the background presented with such earnest attention to detail seems never to lose the aura of travel folder literature." Kirkus Reviews on the other hand found it an "intelligently emotional women's novel" -- so like with most books the only way to find out for sure is to read it yourself. .
