Memoirs of Emma, Lady Hamilton is a story which transcends the bounds of romance and fascinates and baffles the reader by turns. 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
Among the lovely faces that haunt history none is lovelier than that of Emma, Lady Hamilton, mistress of Lord Nelson. Yet it was never the mere radiance of rare beauty that entitled 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 molding events that changed the current of affairs.
