The autobiographical and confessional writings of Abelard, Heloise
and the Archpoet were concerned with religious authenticity,
spiritual sincerity and their opposite - fictio, a composite of
hypocrisy and dissimulation, lying and irony. How and why moral
identity could be feigned or falsified were seen as issues of
primary importance, and Peter Godman here restores them to the
prominence they once occupied in twelfth-century thought. This 2009
book is an account of the relationship between ethics and
literature in the work of the most famous authors of the Latin
Middle Ages. Combining conceptual analysis with close attention to
style and form, it offers a major contribution to the history of
the medieval conscience.
