In The Book of Memory, Mary Carruthers describes how this person recontextualized a speech Cornelia gave in Lucan’s Pharsalia. This person imagined refusing an offer from Augustus in a passage in which they claim to prefer “love to wedlock and freedom to chains.” This real-life person is mentioned in the title of a book whose protagonist’s tranquil life in Clarens is disrupted after she and her cousin Claire meet Saint-Preux (“SAHNT-proo”). A set of 42 questions about scripture, known as this person’s “problems,” were written at the Paraclete (“PARE-uh-cleet”). This woman’s uncle Fulbert stopped a correspondence that was collected in the Historia Calamitatum. This woman is compared to a once-virtuous girl in the full title of Jean-Jacques Rousseau’s novel Julie. For 10 points, name this woman who joined a convent after her love affair with Peter Abelard. ■END■
