Que contiennent les valises d'un écrivain ? Après les malles légendaires de Fernando Pessoa, Raymond Roussel ou Antonin Artaud, voici les valises de Jean Genet, écrivain vagabond, sans domicile, sans bureau, sans bibliothèque. Entré par effraction en poésie avec la publication du Condamné à mort en 1942, Genet rédige ses premiers livres en prison, mais se retire de la scène littéraire au moment même où son théâtre le fait connaître dans le monde entier.Il dit alors avoir renoncé à écrire. Et pourtant, durant près de vingt ans, d'une chambre d'hôtel à l'autre, du camp de Chatila à la Goutte d'Or, des ghettos noirs d'Amérique à la petite ville de Larache au Maroc, il transporte dans ses minces bagages les matériaux d'une oeuvre rêvée où sa vie entière est consignée, de sa jeunesse perdue à ses dernières péripéties politiques. En avril 1986, quelques jours avant sa mort, Jean Genet confie à Roland Dumas, son avocat rencontré pendant la guerre d'Algérie, deux valises de manuscrits.Un mois plus tard, paraît son ultime chef-d'oeuvre, Un captif amoureux. Durant trente-quatre ans, ces valises ont dormi dans le secret du cabinet de l'avocat, avant que celui-ci ne décide d'en faire don à l'Imec. Ce livre, qui accompagne l'exposition présentée à l'abbaye d'Ardenne, révèle pour la première fois les trésors qu'elles abritent. C'est la matière vive d'un véritable atelier d'écrivain qui est ici mise à jour : un extraordinaire fouillis de manuscrits, de notes personnelles, d'esquisses, de coupures de presse annotées, de pages arrachées dans des livres, de lettres, de dessins.On y trouve aussi bien les avant-textes de son dernier chef-d'oeuvre qu'une foule d'écrits totalement inédits sur son enfance, le Japon ou le jazz, des scénarios de film non réalisés, des projets de livres sur les mouvements qui ont secoué le monde des années 1970 et 1980, que ce soit Fraction Armée rouge, la révolte dans les prisons, les Black Panthers ou les combattants palestiniens. Chacune de ces pièces raconte une histoire singulière et toutes portent la marque d'une des plus surprenantes aventures littéraires de notre temps.

This book is devoted to the life, autograph notebooks and manuscripts of Ademar of Chabannes (989-1034), a monk of Saint-Cybard in Angoulême and Saint-Martial in Limoges. Together Ademar’s writings bear witness to his enormous productivity and to his many talents as a historian, preacher, musical composer, liturgist, teacher and artist. His notebooks in particular, assembled in manuscript VLO 15 at the University Library of Leiden, shed a unique - and neglected - light on Ademar’s capacities as a teacher. An analysis of the texts in VLO 15 shows that Ademar was interested in an extended curriculum (including medicine and Arabic astrology) and that he used a variety of techniques and methods to instruct his pupils.In this study extensive attention is paid to a critical, palaeographical and codicological investigation of the extant manuscript evidence, including some newly discovered material. Ademar’s versatile writing habits, his way of preparing his parchment and the flexible way in which he constructed and used his quires are discussed, with detailed descriptions of palaeographical samples and numerous colour plates. These will enable the reader to follow the investigations into past ascriptions of manuscripts to Ademar.The evidence here presented offers a more positive and nuanced view of Ademar, who in recent years has been portrayed as a solitary forger leading a marginal life at Saint-Cybard, his place of exile, on account of his attempts to promote his patron saint St Martial to a position as one of Christ’s disciples. Allegedly, the ensuing conflict led to his decision to depart for the Holy Land, never to return. However, the evidence of the manuscripts makes this unlikely and proves that Ademar had every intention of returning to his beloved monastery to continue his work there.

"John Keats was a trained surgeon who studied at Guy's Hospital, London while simultaneously making his way as a poet. This book focuses attention on an important but hitherto neglected Keats manuscript: the notebook he maintained during this period. Reconstructing the lively medical world that played a formative role in Keats' intellectual and imaginative development, it seeks to show the intriguing connections between Keats' medical knowledge and his greatest poetry. It offers new research on Keats' medical career -- including a new edition of his medical Notebook compiled from the manuscript -- and recovers the various ways in which Keats' creativity found expression in his two careers of medicine and poetry, enriching both. Topics explored include the 'hospital poems' Keats wrote at Guy's; the medical milieu of his daily life; his methods of working as revealed by his medical Notebook and other archival sources; and the medical contexts that informed his composition of Endymion and the collection Lamia, Isabella, The Eve of St Agnes, and Other Poems (1820). John Keats' Medical Notebook: Text, Context and Poems reveals how Keats' visceral knowledge of human life, gained during his medical training at Guy's, transformed him into 'a mighty poet of the human heart'."--

In 1992, Dr. Ross A. Slotten signed more death certificates in Chicago—and, by inference, the state of Illinois—than anyone else. As a family physician, he was trained to care for patients from birth to death, but when he completed his residency in 1984, he had no idea that many of his future patients would be cut down in the prime of their lives. Among those patients were friends, colleagues, and lovers, shunned by most of the medical community because they were gay and HIV positive. Slotten wasn’t an infectious disease specialist, but because of his unique position as both a gay man and a young physician, he became an unlikely pioneer, swept up in one of the worst epidemics in modern history. Plague Years is an unprecedented first-person account of that epidemic, spanning not just the city of Chicago but four continents as well. Slotten provides an intimate yet comprehensive view of the disease’s spread alongside heartfelt portraits of his patients and his own conflicted feelings as a medical professional, drawn from more than thirty years of personal notebooks. In telling the story of someone who was as much a potential patient as a doctor, Plague Years sheds light on the darkest hours in the history of the LGBT community in ways that no previous medical memoir has.
