Piers Plowman By William Langland Written by a fourteenth-century cleric, this spiritual allegory explores man in relation to his ultimate destiny against the background of teeming, colorful medieval life.
This C version of Piers Plowman presents the poem in its second, uncompleted revision. Its base is the text in Huntington Library MS 143, corrected and restores from the evidence of all known manuscripts of the C tradition to that of the first fair copy of the poet's revision materials.
