		Abelard was a student of the nominalist Roscelin, who is said to have said that universal terms were merely a "flatus vocis" - the Humpty Dumpty theory of predication.
		By applying to ideas current within these traditions the analytical habit of mind he had gained from commenting [on] logical texts, Abelard succeeds in formulating the beginnings of what is recognizable as an ethical theory: an explanation of what moral concepts are, and of their relation to human choice and deliberation.
		Abelard, of course, suffered the same fate and makes an important contrast between himself and Origen in the letters, at the point referred to in the footnote we looked at earlier.

	Precious to grace: Necessary desolation in Pope's Eloisa to Abelard Renascence - Find Articles
		Eloisa wishes to account for the gap between her unruly inner life and a static monastic life that she professes in order to help herself and others "do good and avoid evil, for the love of God, requirements that entail an ongoing interior struggle with one's motives, memories and desires" (205).
		Eloisa's consolation seems dependent upon a grace that falls to the poet, who, by retelling her story, may offer consolation and guidance to those who might, like Eloisa, "fear God's judgment even as they seek God's love" (Georgianna 202).
		Given Pope's startling poetic integrity, then, it is not inconceivable to suggest that Pope wrote Eloisa to Abelard to "correct" the misrepresentation of her in the Hughes translation of the letters by recreating her spiritual anxieties.

	Eloisa to Abelard - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Published in 1717, Eloisa to Abelard is a poem by Alexander Pope (1688–1744).
		It is an Ovidian heroic epistle inspired by the 12th-century story of Eloisa's (Heloise's) illicit love for, and secret marriage to, her teacher Pierre Abélard, perhaps the most popular teacher and philosopher in Paris, and the brutal vengeance her family exacts when they castrate him, not realizing that the lovers had married.
		She is tortured by the separation, and by her unwilling vow of silence, arguably a symbolic castration, a vow she takes with her eyes "fix'd" on Abélard instead of on the cross (line 116).

		An ancient chronicle of Tours records that when they deposited the body of the Abbess Eloisa in the tomb of her lover Peter Abelard, who had been there interred twenty years, this faithful husband raised his arms, stretched them, and closely embraced his beloved Eloisa.
		Abelard so touched the sensible heart of Eloisa, and infused such fire into her frame, by employing his fine pen and his fine voice, that the poor woman never recovered from the attack.

	Literary Encyclopedia: Eloisa to Abelard
		Pope's poem, written in 1716 and first published in his collected Works of 1717, is based on the well-known love story of Peter Abelard (1079-1142), the famous French philosopher, theologian and master scholar, and Heloise (1101-64), the erudite pupil with whom he fell in love when he was forty and she was eighteen.
		When the affair was discovered and Heloise found she was pregnant, Abelard conveyed her to his family chateau in Brittany, where she gave birth to a son, named Astrolabe.
		To appease her uncle, Abelard married Heloise (although she protested that she preferred to remain his mistress) on condition the marriage remain secret, since he was bound to celibacy if he was to advance in the Church.

	Medieval Sourcebook: Heloise: Letter to Abelard
		He married her, against her will and advice, but, as he thought always of his own interests only, made her keep their marriage secret, so that his career as a teacher and potential churchman might not be jeopardised.
		He has no thought, however, of breaking off his relations with her, and in the Fifth Letter reminds her how those relations were resumed (uncomfortably enough, one would think, not to say sacrilegiously) in the refectory at Argenteuil.
		The uncle, however, whose sole and very natural motive is hatred of Abelard, concludes that he is "putting away" his wife with the intention of himself also seeking orders, and takes the one step, short of murder, which must make it impossible for Abelard ever to be admitted to the priesthood.

		Indeed, part of my point will be that the arguments Wimsatt and Beardsley raised then, in what we tend now to think of as an ancient episode in literary theory, pose objections to contemporary gender criticism that have yet to be answered in any convincing way.
		The genetic fallacy as I want to consider it is usefully exemplified in an analysis of Eloisa to Abelard undertaken a few years ago by Ellen Pollak in a feminist study of the poetry of Pope and Swift.
		Through an alteration of circumstances wholly external to the text, Eloisa to Abelard has suddenly gone from being a voyeuristic male appropriation of female emotional experience to (presumably) an authentic and moving expression of such experience.

	Journal of Religion & Film: Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind Review by Todd Comer
		In light of this construction of the self according to the other, the film's idea of erasing another from one's memory becomes a metaphoric act of murder―the subject's desire to be freed from the other is essentially to will the other's death.
		But, like Eloisa, this becomes an act of suicide, for to vanquish the other is to vanquish oneself.
		In this way the service Lacuna provides its clients is a curse disguised as a blessing, for these images and narratives are the constituent parts of our very being and cannot truly be expunged―memory wins out, on more than one occasion.
