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 Elisabeth
Vigee-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.
