Regency Era It Girl Emma Hamilton (part two)
About this episode
This episode continues the story of Emma Hamilton, exploring her life as an artist's muse and political operative.
Watch this episode as a video. Emma Hamilton was the ultimate artist's muse, posing for more portraits during her life than anyone before or after. She was also a political operative, helping the royal family during the Naples reverse-revolution, and facilitating ties between Britain and Naples. She was also, perhaps most famously, the lover of Lord Nelson (the military hero). And then she was erased from history. We're joined again by guest co-host Amanda Matta to tell the action-packed second part of Emma's wild life story.Learn more about Amanda, her podcasts, and other ways to keep up with her. — Buy a copy of Ann's book Rebel of the Regency — Get 15% off all the gorgeous jewellery and accessories at commonera.com/vulgar or go to commonera.com and use code VULGAR at checkout — Get Vulgar History merch at…
