Roger Jones's Philosophy Since the Enlightenment - a fairly comprehensive coverage of the whole field in very down-to-earth terms.

The film "Stealing Heaven" also tells the story
A more lengthy article on Abelard's philosophy by Bill East (in several parts)
If you are up to the full history (and LlM students may not have the time) read also Peter Abelard: Historia Calamitatum
