Sonnets of the Love Letters of Abelard and Heloise is a book written by Ella Wheeler Wilcox. It is a collection of sonnets that are inspired by the famous love letters exchanged between Abelard and Heloise, two lovers from the 12th century. The book features 48 sonnets that explore the themes of love, passion, and heartbreak. Each sonnet is written in iambic pentameter and follows the traditional Shakespearean sonnet structure. The sonnets are accompanied by a preface that provides background information on the tragic love story of Abelard and Heloise. The book is a beautiful tribute to one of the greatest love stories in history and is a must-read for anyone who loves poetry and romance.This is the story of two celebrated lovers about the year 1120. Abelard was a Canon of the Cathedral of Notre Dame, and a professor in the University of Paris; Heloise was a beautiful, intellectual girl of nineteen, who became his pupil, and shortly after, his beloved.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
