Kate Williams's Interests
|
| General | I love the eighteenth century, books and burrowing in archives. Otherwise, I like India. | | Music | Sibelius, Bartok, Jolivet and Debussy too. I don't have an ipod as I like to listen to people's conversations.... | | Movies | That Hamilton Woman by Alexander Korda. Otherwise, I like them long, old and black and white - Andrei Rublev and Our Lady of Musashino will do, and I really love Kurosawa's 'Red Beard'. | | Books | Hmm, too many to chose from. Sometimes I think that all I've done with my life is read a lot of books. I like long books like Cao Xuequin's 'Story of the Stone'. Hermann Broch's 'Sleepwalkers' is a great novel. | | Heroes | George Eliot. Stockhausen. |

About me:
I'm a London biographer and author. My biography 'England's Mistress: The Infamous Life of Emma Hamilton' was out from Random House in in the UK and US in Autumn. It was serialised on Radio 4 as Book of the Week. I'm currently working on my second book.

Emma was born into poverty but clawed her way into the public eye..
The book took five years of work in archives and collections across the world.
I was a graduate student when I stumbled across a letter by Emma in the British Library. I was entranced by her voice - it seemed so honest and utterly modern. I had to read on...'England's Mistress' has now been optioned for film, so you never know.

Who I'd like to meet:
