About the Author
Lynda Adamson, PhD, has many diverse interests. As a former English professor, she has taught American, World, and Children’s Literature and written fifteen reference books for these disciplines. She travels as often as possible, having visited Europe many times as well as Australia, New Zealand, China, Brazil, Chile, and Argentina, where she has enjoyed concerts, museums, archeological sites, culture, and stunning natural beauty. Gourmet cooking and cuisine are also high on her list of favorite activities. She lives near Washington DC where she volunteers at the Kennedy Center, Shakespeare Theatre, and Ford’s Theater, sites featuring musical theater, opera, and plays. She sings soprano with the Choral Arts Society of Washington, performing regularly at the Kennedy Center. Her avocation introduced her to Hildegard when her choir performed one of Hildegard’s twelfth-century compositions coinciding with Hildegard’s 900th birthday. Its numinous beauty led her to research the mystic Hildegard’s impressive accomplishments from inside convent walls from the age of ten to eighty-one. She has repeatedly visited the Bingen, Germany, area on the Rhine with its lovely vineyard-covered, history-laden hills where Hildegard lived and worked.
