RÉSUMÉ

This book examines a medieval text long neglected by most scholars. The Lost Love Letters of Heloise and Abelardlooks at the earlier correspondence between these two famousindividuals, revealing the emotions and intimate exchanges thatoccurred between them. The perspectives presented here are verydifferent from the view related by Abelard in his "History of MyCalamities," an account which provoked a much more famous exchange ofletters between Heloise and Abelard after they had both enteredreligious life. Offering a full translation of the love letters alongwith a copy of the actual Latin text, Mews provides an in-depthanalysis of the debate concerning the authenticity of the letters andlook at the way in which the relationship between Heloise and Abelardhas been perceived over the centuries. He also explores the political,literary, and religious contexts in which the two figures conductedtheir affair and offers new insights into Heloise as an astonishinglygifted writer, whose literary gifts were ultimately frustrated by thecourse of her relationship with her teacher.
