Abelard was a brilliant philosopher in Paris. Heloise, his student
15 years his junior, was a poet already famous for her learning, a
woman with a uniquely powerful insight into her own feelings. The
letters they wrote to each other - some of which have only recently
come to light - open a miraculous window onto the story of their
affair. We know about their terms of endearment, about the passion
of their lovemaking, of stolen moments in churches, of their erotic
play. The letters tell the story of the birth of their child, of
their secret marriage and the violence and tragedy which followed,
culminating in a brutal attack in which Abelard was castrated. In
panic and shame the couple separated to continue their lives - and
very successful careers - in monasteries. But their love continued
through their letters.
