Summary "Records of Later Life" by Frances Ann Kemble is a collection of letters and reflections written in the mid-19th century. The work provides an intimate look into the author's life, discussing her marriage, life in America, and the cultural observations she makes about her surroundings. It offers insights into Kemble's thoughts on various subjects, including domestic life, societal roles, and the challenges she faces as an Englishwoman adjusting to American customs. The opening of the narrative introduces Kemble's life in Philadelphia after her marriage, where she communicates with her friend Mrs. Jameson. She discusses her early experiences as a wife and her struggles with isolation and adapting to life in a new country. Through her letters, Kemble reflects on personal aspirations, her family ties, gardening endeavors, and her interactions with the local community. Her writing showcases her wit, intellect, and keen observations regarding gender roles and societal expectations, setting the tone for a deeper exploration of her life and thoughts throughout the rest of the collection.
