Heloise and Abelard: A Twelfth-Century Love Story

By Jim Burge

It was the greatest love story of the middle ages.

‘Burge opens up this tale with great sympathy and directness’ – Daily Mail

‘The most striking part of the book is its modernity … Burge achieves something truly difficult: he reminds us that, for Abelard and Heloise, their world was as new, risky and unpredictable as ours is.’ – Sunday Times
