To her lord, no, her father To her husband, no, her brother From his handmaid, no, his daughter His wife, no, his sister— To Abelard from Heloise.
The most comprehensive compilation of the works of Abelard and Heloise ever presented in a single volume in English, The Letters and Other
Writings features an accurate and stylistically faithful new translation of both The Calamities of Peter Abelard and the remarkable letters it sparked between the ill-fated twelfth-century philosopher and his brilliant former student and lover—an exchange whose intellectual passion, formal virtuosity, and psychological drama distinguish it as one of the most extraordinary correspondences in European history. Thanks to this edition, Latin-less readers will be better placed than ever to see why this undisputed milestone in the intellectual life of medieval France is also a masterpiece of Western literature.
In addition to the The Calamities and the letters—the first complete English translation of all seven in more than eighty years—this volume includes an Introduction, a map, and a chronology, Abelard's Confession of Faith, letters between Heloise and Peter the Venerable, the Introduction to The Questions of Heloise, and selected songs and poems by Abelard, among them a previously untranslated "shaped" poem, "Open Wide Your Eyes."
Extracts of "lost" letters sometimes ascribed to Abelard and Heloise are given in appendixes.
"A welcome bundle of texts, in an English that seeks to recreate in its style the artful elegance of the originals."
