Description
1815 LADY HAMILTON Memoirs Lord Horatio Nelson Mistress Ménage à Trois SCANDAL



“Memoirs of Lady Hamilton” is a comprehensive biography that delves into the life of Dame Emma Hamilton, better known as Lady Hamilton, an English model, dancer, and actress who was a favorite muse for the renowned portrait artist George Romney and others. This book provides an intimate portrait of her journey from a maid to becoming the mistress of the eminent, celebrated naval hero Lord Nelson. Lady Hamiltons life took a significant turn when she married Sir William Hamilton, the British ambassador to the Kingdom of Naples, at 26. The memoir, rich with anecdotes about her friends and contemporaries, offers valuable insights into her character and life, touching on her influence in the court of Naples, her friendship with the queen (Marie Antoinettes sister), and her relationship with Nelson. The author emphasizes that the book is not intended to feed idle curiosity but to provide an accurate portrayal of a life marked by both splendour and struggle, thus reinforcing the importance of historical truth.
