The story of Abelard and Heloise dates from the thirteenth century. Abelard wishing to become acquainted with Heloise persuaded Canon Fulbert, her uncle, to allow him to teach Heloise. Using the pretext that his own house was a 'handicap' to his studies, Abelard moved in to the house of Heloise. She was extremely well-educated and they soon became lovers. When her uncle discovered their love, Abelard would later write: 'Oh, how great was the uncle's grief when he learned the truth, and how bitter was the sorrow of the lovers when we were forced to part'. The work is sold with an extensive report regarding subject, technique and materials by Helen Glanville.
