This, together with his quest for glory and victory entangled him in an inescapable web of circumstances and slander. The author explores the evolving scandal, the high political stakes that were involved, and the love affair itself which so influenced the fortunes of England's glory and the fate of her "Wooden Walls." Emma, much maligned by her contemporaries and later by historians and commentators, rose from the most humble beginnings to play a startling role in Britain's naval victory over France and Spain in 1805. In this new book, Barry Gough seeks to defend Emma by drawing on the letters between the protagonists and the unpublished examination of her career by Arthur Marder, famed American historian of the Royal Navy. The author shows how this most talented and beautiful of women fell victim to innuendo, slander, and cruel caricature. She was to die in poverty in Calais in 1815, just months before Napoleon's final defeat." -- publisher. 600 10 $a Hamilton, Emma, $c Lady, $d 1761?-1815. 600 10 $a Nelson, Horatio Nelson, $c Viscount, $d 1758-1805 $x Relations with women. 600 10 $a Hamilton, William, $c Sir, $d 1730-1803. 600 17 $a Hamilton, Emma, $c Lady, $d 1761?-1815. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00005897 600 17 $a Hamilton, William, $c Sir, $d 1730-1803. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00006483 600 17 $a Nelson, Horatio Nelson, $c Viscount, $d 1758-1805. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00055570 650 0 $a Mistresses $z Great Britain $v Biography. 651 0 $a Great Britain $x Social life and customs $y 18th century. 651 0 $a Great Britain $x History $y George III, 1760-1820. 650 7 $a Manners and customs. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01007815 650 7 $a Mistresses. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01023970 650 7 $a Relations with women. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01354410 651 7 $a Great Britain. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204623 648 7 $a 1700-1820 $2 fast 655 7 $a Biography. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423686 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 700 1 $a Marder, Arthur Jacob, $e author of prologue. 700 1 $a Roberts, Andrew, $d 1963- $e author of introduction. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20161103024426.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=BA36BBFCA18B11E6AED112AEDAD10320 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
