Dit boek bestudeert het werk van de dertiende-eeuwse mystica Hadewijch op het kruispunt van oraliteit, verschriftelijking, memoria en meditatie. Vertrouwd als ze is met de nog bestaande orale zang- en vertelcultuur in het Hongaars sprekende deel van Roemenië en met de middeleeuwse muziek, kan Anikó Daróczi aannemelijk maken dat Hadewijch haar mystieke ervaringen uitdrukte met behulp van in het geheugen en zintuigen ingeprente verbale formules en melodiebewegingen, en dan niet alleen in haar poëzie, maar ook in haar proza. Het gaat hier om een zingend spreken vanuit een levende traditie, die niet alleen het hoofd, maar het hele lichaam van de auteur beheerst. Dit zingend spreken wil de hele persoonlijkheid van de lezer (die in de middeleeuwse leescultuur ook altijd een toehoorder is) raken, zodat deze zich de tekst in lectio en meditatio kan toe-eigenen. Eén keer dat dit inzicht gerijpt is, worden vele kenmerken van Hadewijchs taal duidelijk: het registrale karakter van Hadewijchs poëzie; de vele 'citaten' in haar teksten uit de Bijbel en uit de Latijnse en volkstalige literatuur; de inbreuken tegen de syntaxis die de filologen op de proef stellen; en vooral het zeer bijzondere ritme van haar proza, dat in één berucht geval (Brief 28) zo overheersend en allesbepalend wordt, dat verschillende Hadewijchspecialisten deze tekst - in weerwil van de handschriftellijke overlevering - aan de Brabantse mystica menen te moeten ontzeggen. Dit boek overstijgt het belang van de Hadewijchstudie omdat het kritische vragen stelt over de pertinentie van de in de medioneerlandistiek vigerende filologische methode.

The only performer to earn five stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame--for film, recordings, television, radio, and live performance--Gene Autry was the singing cowboy king. Journalist George-Warren offers the first serious biography, tracing Autry's climb from farm boy to multimillionaire. Autry's loving mother died on the brink of her son's success, while his ne'er-do-well father married five times and wandered the West. Autry battled his own demons but emerges here as one of America's most charitable benefactors, known for his boundless generosity, and a patriot who enlisted during World War II. The book provides colorful details of Autry's lengthy radio and recording career; his movie career, where he breathed new life into the Western genre; and his role in early television, the first movie star to develop his own TV shows. Along the way, he invested shrewdly, becoming the only entertainer listed among 1990's Fortune 400.--From publisher description.
