![]() ![]() ![]() I have always thought that if Emma could have gained the confidence and friendship of Naples’s Queen Maria Carolina, daughter of Maria Theresa, then there was obviously something more substantial than being just a temptress about her. It takes us into the world of Emma Hamilton (1765–1815) and reassesses her life and role and shows her cultural and social achievements. It would have been totally wrong for me to have mentioned this beautifully illustrated book when I reviewed the marvellous exhibition ‘Emma Hamilton Seduction & Celebrity’ at the National Maritime Museum (6 th January, 2017) since this book is equally as enjoyable and while complementing the exhibition it very definitely stands alone too. Emma Hamilton Seduction & Celebrity (In association with the Royal Museums Greenwich) Edited by Quintin Colville with Kate Williams ISBN 9780500252208 £29.95 ![]()
