Beloved Emma: The Life of Emma, Lady Hamilton

Beloved Emma: The Life of Emma, Lady Hamilton
- Paperback with picture on front cover of "Emma".
From her humble beginnings as the daughter of a countryside blacksmith, Emy Lyon went on to claim the undying love of naval hero Admiral Nelson, Englandâ€™s most famous native son. She served as model and muse to eighteenth-century Europeâ€™s most renowned artists, and consorted with kings and queens at the royal court of Naples. Yet she would end her life in disgraced exile, penniless and alone. In this richly drawn portrait, Flora Fraser maps the spectacular rise and fall of legendary eighteenth-century beauty Emma, Lady Hamiltonâ€”as she came to be calledâ€”a woman of abundant affection and overwhelming charm, whose eye for opportunity was rivaled only by her propensity for overindulgence and scandal. Wonderfully intimate and lavishly detailed, Beloved Emma brings to life the incomparable Lady Hamilton and the politics, passions, and enchantments of her day.
