- Title
La retórica de deudas, vínculos y deberes en algunas cartas de mujeres medievales.
- Authors
VALERO-COSTA, PILAR
- Abstract
The paper analyzes the topics and the rhetoric strategies used in Medieval letters written, or dictated, by women whose husbands or lovers are away from home. The paper studies three sets of letters: from Héloise to Abélard, a Medieval French woman, from Sereneta to Ramón de Tous, a Catalan woman, and from Margaret Paston, an Englishwoman. The analyse focuses on the concept of debt between the couple. These letters, besides their intrinsic interest, shed light on the quotidian Medieval customs and manners, thought, and human relationships in that period.
