Abelard And Heloise (Folio Society Edition) – Peter Abelard And Heloise

This collection of letters chronicles one of history’s most celebrated and tragic love affairs. Peter Abelard, a brilliant 12th-century philosopher, and his pupil Heloise begin a reckless, ecstatic romance that leads to a secret marriage, public scandal, and brutal forced separation. Retreating into monastic life, the estranged lovers reignite their bond through a correspondence that wrestles with love, grief, God, and philosophy. More than a personal tragedy, these profound, passionate letters are a fundamental source for understanding medieval thought and the enduring power of intellectual and spiritual devotion.
