Kate Williams
Kate Williams – on ambition, intrigue, glamour, and sex, in the eighteenth century.England’s first superstar, Emma Hamilton, fought her way out of poverty to become a fashion icon, an Ambassador’s wife, a confidante to queens, and an intimate friend to one of England’s greatest military heroes.
Emma was beautiful, able, and ambitious.
Nothing stood in her way, except for her own self-destructive desires.
Dr KATE WILLIAMS, author, essayist, lecturer, and television broadcaster, has long been enamoured of the eighteenth century.
Her book, England’s Mistress, a sparkling tale of glamour, intrigue, romance, heartbreak, and sex, traces the rise and rise of one of England’s most gorgeous Emmas.
