The first publication to focus on the fashionable, ambitious, Emma Hamilton, an influential historical figure in her own rightEmma Hamilton (17651815) rose from humble origins to national and international fame as a model, performer, trendsetter, and interpreter of neoclassical fashion, though she was probably best known as the mistress of Lord Nelson and the muse of the English portrait painter George Romney.Usually portrayed in a passive and supporting role as muse or lover, her tragic trajectory from childhood prostitution to final destitution and neglect has been used to present her story as being by turns sordid and ridiculous. This landmark publication recovers Emma Hamilton from myth and misrepresentation, and reveals her as the active and influential historical actor she truly was.The arc of this lifeher ambitions, successes, and hardshipsis viewed through a new lens, one that places her in a wider context of female celebrity. Accompanying a major exhibition at the National Maritime Museum, this book provides a fresh evaluation of her artistic undertakings, cultural achievements, and legacy. 250 illustrations
