Emma, Lady Hamilton (26 April 1765; baptised 12 May 1765 –
15 January 1815) is best remembered as the mistress of Lord Nelson and as the
muse of George Romney. She was born Amy Lyon in Ness near Neston, Cheshire,
England, the daughter of Henry Lyon, a blacksmith who died when she was two
months old. She was raised by her mother, the former Mary Kidd, at Hawarden,
and received no formal education. She later changed her name to Emma Hart.
Emma Hamilton was England's first superstar. She
fought her way out of dire poverty to become a fashion icon, an Ambassador's
wife, a confidante of both Queen Marie Antoinette and the Queen of Naples, and
the mistress of Lord Nelson, England's
greatest military hero. Drawing on hundreds of previously undiscovered letters,
England's Mistress follows Emma's dramatic journey from the slums of Northern
England to the Royal Court of Naples, and from the brothels of St. James's to
the tragedy and glory of the Napoleonic wars. Muse and mother, wife and
mistress, celebrity and villain, victim and survivor: Emma Hamilton was one of
the most remarkable women in British history. Emma set out to make herself a
star - and she succeeded beyond even her wildest dreams. By her early twenties,
she was the most painted woman of her day. Her 'Attitudes', classical postures
in diaphanous outfits, thrilled aristocrats and intellectuals while her
innovations in fashion and dress changed the way women looked for ever.
Shrewdly manipulating the media's fascination with her, Emma made herself into
the most famous woman in England,
desired by every man she met, adored by thousands, and, for a time, very rich.
Yet, she was willing to throw it all away for the man she loved. Extensively researched
but told with a novelist's flair, this is the story of one woman's fight to
live on her own terms. England's
Mistress captures the relentless drive, innovative style and burning passion of
a true heroine.
