Emily is an author & historian specialising in the long eighteenth century, especially the trials and tribulations of romantic (and not-so-romantic) relationships in England. Her work takes her from the chat up lines of Restoration libertines to Georgian sex manuals and the novels of Jane Austen.

Her work has featured in the media on topics ranging from royal weddings commentary to the history of the female orgasm & the historical accuracy of sex in Downton Abbey.

Her new book The Fall of the House of Byron, her first substantial work of narrative non-fiction, is due for publication by John Murray in April 2020.
