Emma Hamilton ranks with Helen of Troy and Nell Gwynn in the public imagination.A legendary beautyshe ahd allure and she had a bizarre love affair with Lord Nelsonthe Hero of Englandto prove it.An outraged nation never forgave her for this lapse on their idol's partand even in 1984 the National Maritime Museum at Greenwich could advertise their collection with a poster of Emma inscribed 'England's Enemy No.I'. In this brillaint new then 1986 biography Flora Fraser charts Emma's life from her birth as the daughter of a Cheshire blacksmith to her death fifty years later in Calais in circumstances of poverty and neglect.She deals in particular depth with the Italian period of Emma's life when - as the wife of Sir William Hamiltonthe affableerudite British Minister at Naples - she became an intimate friend of the Queen of Naples and sat to all the portrait painters of Europe.The licentious climate of Naples provided an easy setting for Emma's famous romance with Lord Nelson: London Society's reaction to the affair is chronicled in fascinating detail.Flora Fraser sheds new light on the shifting relationship between Emma Nelson and Sir William at Paradise Mertontheir home in Surreyand explores Emma's later life - her strangewill-o'-the-wisp existence after the deaths of her husband and her lover. The author has had access to private manuscripts and illustrative material in England and Italyand her extensive use of contemporary sources such as letters and diaries bring the period vividly to life.Cameos of distinguished people - the Earl-Bishopthe Duchess of Devonshire George RomneyWilliam BeckfordGotheto name a few - who flitted through the Hamilton's saloons colourful anecdotesand sharp evocation of details of scene and costume draw the reader back into the forgotten Italian world in which Emma shone.

The life of the English gentlewoman runs like a delicate thread through English social history.For much of her existence she had almost no legal rights and she rarely controlled any independent resources.Yet she has left her imprint on stately homes and manor houses up and down the country and her occupationsher tastes and accomplishments provide a charming and original perspective on our past.Tracing the career of the English gentlewoman from the early Tudor period to the present day - from the paragons of classical learning who dazzled the Court in the 16th century to the impoverished heroines of Barbara Pym's novels whose happiness depends on entrapping the curates ofNorth Kensington.In each period she looks at the domestic life and duties of the gentlewoman; her education or lack of it; her tastesfashions and pastimesand her genuine achievements in such fields as needlework water-colouringmusicwritingand gardening.In each centurytooFlora Fraser highlights the few gentlewomensuch as Lady Margaret Beaufort Lady Mary Wortley Montagu and Florence Nightingalewho managed to rise above the constraints of their social position to achieve national recognition.Down the ages modesty and decorum remained the watchwords.We learn how gentlewomen of the 18thC took up landscape painting because it was considered more suitable than portraiture which - inevitably - involved an unladylike fixed stare.In the 19thC the innate modesty of the lady philanthropists led them to shelter behind all-male committeesno matter how feminine the charity.Even the alacrity with which women of the 20thC took to the typewriter can be explained as being an extension of the gentlewoman's traditional skills on keyboard musical instruments. Author's widely-researched and entertaining text is full of fresh insights into the byways of history.The accompanying illustrations are superbly reproduced and range from the ravishing portraits of Holbein and Gainsborough to 20thC cartoons.
