Inscribed photograph of African-American television theater and film pioneer Ethel Waters 1896-1977 depicting her in one of her most famous roles and inscribed: "To Alice with the same devotion Hagar has for Lissa and you have for Natalie I have for you Ethel Waters." The photograph shows Waters as Hagar in the Broadway production of Mamba's Daughters 1939 a role which was adapted specifically for her by Dorothy and Dubose Hayward from their novel of the same name; it has been cited as the first dramatic starring role for an African-American actress ANB.

réf. 40032Turnhout Brepols 2008. Hardback XII494 p. 2 colour ill. 160 x 240 mm. ISBN 9782503514529. This collection of prose vitae of four virgins and scholars - Saints John the Baptist John the Evangelist Jerome and Katherine of Alexandria - was almost certainly copied and the texts very likely composed at Syon Abbey or Sheen Charterhouse in the mid-fifteenth century. The lives cover a wide range of hagiographic modes from hagiographic romance to affective devotional appreciation to doctrinal treatise in narrative form. From the life of Jerome composed by a monk for his aristocratic spiritual daughter to the life of Katherine reputedly translated for Henry V to those of John the Baptist and John the Evangelist which set their subjects in a recognizably Birgittine context they show the interaction of men and women lay and monastic in the production of devotional literature. The diversity of their approaches and sources moreover shows the links between English dynastic politics and continental religious literature and spiritual traditions. As examples of translation practices of monastic politics and of religious instruction these lives provide a window onto the devotional culture and literary worlds of fifteenth-century Europe.
