'Bewitchingly readable, authoritative' The Times 'At last, in Flora Fraser, Lady Hamilton has a biographer able to capture both the woman and her times' Amanda Foreman Born in the eighteenth century, Emma Hamilton was a woman ahead of her time. Her rise to fame and fortune seemed unstoppable – until she began her infamous love affair with Admiral Lord Nelson. Beloved Emma follows Emma Hamilton's journey from Liverpool to London and her life as an artist's assistant, through glittering successes as the wife of Sir William Hamilton in Naples, and that notorious romance with Nelson, to her painful descent from the heights of fame to an early death in Calais. Flora Fraser captures the energy, purpose and sexuality that drove this extraordinary woman through her tumultuous life.

Excerpt from Memoirs of Emma, Lady Hamilton, the Friend of Lord Nelson and the Court of Naples Among the lovely faces that haunt history none, surely, is lovelier than that Of Emily Lyon, who abides undying as Emma, Lady Hamilton. Yet it was never the mere radiance of rare beauty that en titled her to such an empire over the hearts and wills of several remarkable men and of one unique genius, or which empowered a girl humbly bred and basely situated to assist in moulding events that changed the current Of affairs. She owned grace and charm as well as triumphant beauty; while to these she added 'a masculine mind, a native force and Sparkle; a singu lar faculty, moreover, of rendering and revealing the thoughts and feelings of others, that lent an especial glamour to both beauty and charm. Walter Sichel thus strikes the keynote to the re markable life-story here presented - a story which transcends the bounds of romance and fascinates and baffles the reader by turns. Indeed, no two critics of this famous beauty and confidante of Lord Nelson have ever agreed as to her place in history. To one She is an adventuress, luring Nelson on by the sheer power of her physical charm; to another, she is his guiding star, his inspiration; While others see in her merely an astute politician, eager for power.
