The letters of Heloise and Abelard will remain one of the great,
romantic and intellectual documents of human civilization while
they, themselves, are probably second only to Romeo and Juliet in
the fame accrued by tragic lovers. Here for the first time in Mart
Martin McLaughlin's edition is the complete correspendence with
commentary.
It seemed at times during the 1960s that America was caught in an
unending cycle of violence and disorder. Successive summers from
1964-1968 brought waves of urban unrest, street fighting, looting,
and arson to black communities in cities from Florida to Wisconsin,
Maryland to California. In some infamous cases like Watts (1965),
Newark (1967), and Detroit (1967), the turmoil lasted for days on
end and left devastation in its wake: entire city blocks were
reduced to burnt-out ruins and scores of people were killed or
injured mainly by police officers and National Guardsmen as they
battled to regain control. This book takes the pivotal year of 1967
as its focus and sets it in the context of the long, hot summers to
provide new insights into the meaning of the riots and their
legacy. It offers important new findings based on extensive
original archival research, including never-before-seen, formerly
embargoed and classified government documents and newly released
official audio recordings.

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.
