Matthew Stanley Kemp

Very little biographical information could be confirmed about this author beyond the basic catalog record: Matthew Stanley Kemp was born in 1874, and he is credited as the author of Ande Trembath: A Tale of Old Cornwall England.

That novel was published in Boston in 1905 and is closely associated with Cornwall, suggesting a strong interest in Cornish life, landscape, and regional storytelling. Because reliable personal details are scarce in the sources reviewed, it is safest to remember him primarily through his fiction rather than through a well-documented life story.

For readers today, Kemp's appeal lies in the atmosphere of his work: an older world of village life, local character, and historical mood preserved in a period novel.
