| Summary | "Memoirs of an American Prima Donna" by Clara Louise Kellogg is a memoir written in the early 20th century. This captivating account recounts the life and career of Kellogg, an American opera singer who rose to prominence in the late 19th century. It provides an intimate look into her early musical experiences, her ascent in the operatic world, and her perspectives on music and art in America during her time. At the start of the memoir, Kellogg reminisces about her childhood in South Carolina, where her musical journey began with melodies sung by her caregiver. Her early family environment fostered a love for music, leading her to develop impressive vocal skills from an astonishingly young age. As Kellogg grows, she recounts her initial public performances and the relentless training that would prepare her for a career on the operatic stage. This opening portion sets the stage for her experiences and reflections, highlighting her determination, musical passion, and the challenges she faced as a budding prima donna in a world still coming to terms with American talent in the arts.
