Abstract

What did the planctus mean to Abelard? During the 1130s Abelard was rethinking this musical genre and its potential for expressing personalized, dramatic lament. Abelard's relationship with Heloise at this time (and indeed her own literary output) may have provoked a reaction to the generic features of the planctus.
