Featured in the August 1816 La Belle Assemblee, Miss Nash was a notable actress and singer during the Regency era. Although I wasn’t able to find much on her personal life, her reviews were very often rave; the Theatrical Inquisitor called her a “perfect representative of beauty and innocence” with a performance unsurpassed (The Theatrical Inquisitor, Or, Monthly Mirror, Volume 8) and characterized her singing as “exquisitive” with a voice of such “extraordinary sweetness” that it “astonished a very numerous audience” (The Theatrical Inquisitor, Or, Monthly Mirror, Volume 3).
Mystery, magnetism, and marzipan
Scottish singer Emma Bryson travels to London determined to fulfill a deathbed promise to her mother to sing for the Queen. Her debut at a fashionable salon starts brilliantly but ends in disaster when the usually poised Emma tumbles backwards and lands on the champagne-buffed boots of Philip Henry Jamison, the earl of Blackbourne and London's most eligible bachelor.
