With the rain pouring down, blinding camera flashes going off everywhere, fans screaming for autographs and selfies, security at its tightest, and a happenstance, off-the-cuff comment to hopefully lighten an embarrassing wardrobe malfunction...who would have ever thought it would become such an intense and thought-provoking story of such impact that every fan and stargazer must read? It was not some silly teasing, the 'Lev-ee-ooo-sah' call-outs whenever Emma tried to answer a question asked at the Ivy League U.S. University, that caused her to suddenly break down in tears onboard a plane headed home to London. The reason behind her leaving mid-term had nothing to do with Hollywood calling. It was far more dire and horrifying. Something that would take the right man, the forming of a foundation to help children in Africa suffering from Nodding Disease, an extended trip to Africa, and an undeniable love affair before Emma could finally trust one person enough to reveal the frightening truth.
This book offers a renewed look at Emma Hamilton, the eighteenth-century celebrity who was depicted by many major artists, including Angelica Kauffman, George Romney, and Élisabeth Vigée-Le Brun. Adopting an art historical and feminist lens, Ersy Contogouris analyzes works of art in which Hamilton appears, her performances, and writings by her contemporaries to establish her impact on this pivotal moment in European history and art. This pioneering volume shows that Hamilton did not attempt to present a coherent or polished identity, and argues instead that she was a kaleidoscope of different selves through which she both expressed herself and presented to others what they wanted to see. She was resilient, effectively asserted her agency, and was a powerful inspiration for generations of artists and women in their own search for expression and self-actualization.

Accompanying a major exhibition at the National Maritime Museum, showing from November 2016 to April 2017, this book provides a fresh evaluation of Emma Hamilton’s artistic undertakings, cultural achievements and legacy. From humble origins, Emma Hamilton (1765–1815) rose to national and international fame as a model, performer, trendsetter and interpreter of neoclassical fashion. Yet, the host of books and films in which she has featured typically place her in a passive and supporting role. Emma is often presented as the muse to painters such as George Romney, or partially obscured by the reputation of her lover, Horatio Nelson, hero of naval battles in the Napoleonic Wars, culminating in the Battle of Trafalgar (1805). The tragic trajectory of her life, from childhood prostitution to final destitution and neglect, has also been used to present her story as by turns sordid and ridiculous. This landmark publication recovers Emma from myth and misrepresentation, and reveals her as an active and influential historical actor in her own right. The arc of this life – her ambitions, creative endeavours, successes and hardships – is viewed through a new lens, one that places her in a wider context of female celebrity in a society that severely restricted women’s opportunities and in which divorce was a far greater shame than infidelity or cruelty.
A celebration of our nation's melting pot, this beautifully illustrated origin story of the Statue of Liberty honors a poet who has advocated for the voiceless. "Give me your tired, your poor Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free . . . " In 1883, Emma Lazarus, deeply moved by an influx of immigrants from eastern Europe, wrote a sonnet that gave a voice to the Statue of Liberty. Originally a gift from France to celebrate our shared national struggles for liberty, the statue, thanks to Emma's poem, came to define us as a nation that welcomes immigrants. The text of that now famous poem, "The New Colossus," appears in this free-verse biography, illustrated in an exquisite folk art style. The New Colossus by Emma Lazarus has been selected as a Common Core Text Exemplar (Grades 4-5, Poetry)

Meanwhile, as James Graber and Abby Lambright prepare for their long-awaited nuptials, folks gather from far and wide.
