The Clerical Dilemma: Peter of Blois and Literate Culture in the Twelfth Century

Peter of Blois pursued the life of a twelfth-century intellectual with vigor and passion tinged with anxiety. This book offers a study of Peter of Blois' life, thought, and writings. It explores how Peter brought classical, patristic, monastic, and scholastic traditions into an uneasy synthesis, and deployed them in letters.
