From the supplier: Alexander Pope's 'Eloisa to Abelard' owes much to Ovid's heroic epistolary form as well as style and imagery. A deeper analysis would also reveal Petrarchan and Shakespearean influence clearly in certain conventions of the sonnet that the poem follows. But by favoring the written over the spoken language, as evidenced in the form as well as in the text itself, the poem transcends the influence of the two poets. The erotic element is transformed and becomes a vehicle for his thoughts on the nature of language.
