| Summary | "The Mediaeval Mind (Volume 2 of 2)" by Henry Osborn Taylor is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work delves into the evolution of thought and emotion during the Middle Ages, showcasing the intellectual and cultural milieu of this period. The book likely covers topics ranging from love and society to the intricacies of scholastic thought and the interplay between religion and everyday life. The opening of the second volume focuses primarily on the poignant love story of Abaelard and Heloïse, which serves as a lens to explore the nature of medieval passion and its implications. Taylor outlines how their relationship, marked by deep intellectual and emotional ties, ultimately traverses tragedy and societal constraints. Through their correspondence, particularly Heloïse's articulate defense of their love and her perspective on marriage, the text illuminates the complexities of love within the context of medieval values and the harsh realities they faced, setting the stage for a broader discussion on the societal norms and philosophical currents of the time.
