The letters of Heloise and Abelard remain some of the great
romantic and intellectual documents of human civilization while the
writers themselves are probably second only to Romeo and Juliet in
the fame accrued by tragic lovers. Living in the abbey of the
Paraclete in twelfth-century France, the two poured their hearts
and minds out to each other in a series of letters. The letters are
notable for their intelligence, insight, and philosophy and make
clear the reason Heloise and Abelard's story has resounded for
centuries. Here, for the first time, is the collected
correspondence with accessible commentary from two of our foremost
medieval scholars. This book will be a necessity for anyone
interested in the medieval period or in these two touchingly
unforgettable figures from the distant past.
