I read (and used) some of Emma Hamilton's letters in "Too Great a Lady" beausce nothing could chart her development (and her passionate, sometimes near-desperate effusiveness) like her own words. I include fragments of her early letters to Greville when she was barely literate (and even though he dumped her most dishonorably, he saved ALL her letters!) to the letters she wrote to him as she was becoming an educated and cultured young woman in Naples, to the letters she wrote to Sir William Hamilton -- first as a new lover and later as a protective wife -- to the letters she exchanged with Nelson. Emma and Nelson also wrote poems for/to each other, and I used some of that text as well, beausce who'd-a-thunk that Emma Hamilton and Lord Nelson were fairly credible poets?? But it was an age where everyone read poetry and was not discouraged from turning their amateur pens to the medium as a form of expression.
