These lectures tell the stories of four remarkable medieval heroines, tracking them through time to see how their reputations were sought, sexualized, sullied, and sometimes sanctified. The story of the French abbess Heloise is inevitably linked to that of her lover, Abelard. The mystic German seer Hildegard of Bingen was a monastic reformer and deeply embroiled in the politics of her day. Her authoritative writings range from doctrine to drama, from science to sex: Collectively, she consolidates inherited patterns of thought in the deepest way. Heloise, on the other hand, outwardly submits to the norms of her culture in her acts but inwardly challenges these norms in her writing: Heloise heralds the arrival of new modes of thought. Eleanor of Aquitaine, as “lord,” lady, mother, and queen of France and then England, scandalized her twelfth-century contemporaries and has fascinated us ever since. Our fourth subject is not noble, not learned, and not long lived. She is, rather, the late-medieval illiterate French peasant girl Joan of Arc, whose life was a brief candle, soon extinguished. Some claim that this virgin-warrior changed the course of European history in her two breathtaking public years as a military and spiritual figure before she was burned at the stake as a heretic at the age of nineteen.
