"Hildegard of Bingen" is a vivid portrait of Hildegard's life from her entry into a male monastery at the age of eight to her establishment of a thriving convent (where her acclaimed musical plays were first performed) and the explosion of her genius in the middle years, to her eventual admission to the canon of saints. Set against the rich background of the Crusades, the flowering of monasticism, numerous religious schisms, and the first stirrings of the Renaissance, it brings to life a woman who would have been remarkable in any age. The revival of interest in her music has given contemporary audiences a tantalizing hint of Hildegard's many talents. Meticulously researched, combining an appealing style and scholarly expertise, and featuring full-color maps and illustrations, "Hildegard of Bingen" presents the full scope of her life and achievements.
