› Find signed collectible books: 'Piers the Ploughman'Book summary:Piers the Ploughman, a blending of prophecy and satirical comedy, is the great representative English poem of the late Middle Ages.[via]The work of an obscure fourteenth-century cleric, Piers the Ploughman is concerned with the largest of all poetic themes, the meaning of man's life in relation to his ultimate destiny. This spiritual allegory is set against a colorful background of teeming medieval life between the 'Tower of Truth' and the 'Dungeon of Falsehood'. With an Introduction, Notes and a book-by-book Commentary on the allegory, J.F. Goodridge's modern translation of the poem captures the flavour of Langland's vivid pictures and vernacular expressions.

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Vision of Piers Plowman'Book summary:One man's dream of a better society...PIERS PLOWMAN stands at the centre of medieval English literature along with Chaucer's CANTERBURY TALES, which in many ways it complements. A weary wanderer falls asleep and dreams of a tower and a deep dungeon, and in between the whold of humanity pursuing its business and pleasure...but his dream becomes a profound vision of redemption, in which the corruptions and injustices that occur daily are laid open with passionate truthfulness in poetry that combines vigorous realism and probing argument with moments of epic sublimity and lyrical beauty. Edited by AVC Schmidt of Balliol College, Oxford, this is the B-Text. 'A marvel of comprehension' Derek Pearsall [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Vision of William Concerning Piers'Book summary:The title Piers Plowman or, as I prefer to write it, Piers CP lowman, is one which has been frequently misconstrued 1misunderstood by many authors, and concerning which many books have blundered inextricably. It is most important the reader should have a clear idea of what it means, and as is rather a difficult point to explain accurately, I must ask him give me his best attention; and I cannot refrain from adding hope that, if he succeeds in mastering the explanation of it, will refrain from using the phrase in future in the old slovenly The difficulty is three-fold, as originating in a three-fold error. three mistakes commonly made are these. First, Piers man is used as though it were the name of an author tndiy, two poems which are quite distinct, and the respective of which are familiarly expressed as The Vision of Piers )man and Pierce the Ploughmar CsC rede have been frequently founded together; and thirdly, the name of The Vision of Plowman is commonly given to what is really the Liber de :ro Plowman, of which the Vision forms only about a third I must ask the reader to bear in mind that, in what I am going to say, I make no reference whatever to the Crede, do not make any assertion about it till I again expressly tntion it by its full title. Unless this be remembered, our ice of arriving at the truth is much lessened. Just as Christian is not the author of Bunyans Pilgrim s Probut only the subject of it, so Piers the Plowman is not the lor of the Vision, but the subject of it; he is the personage T bif mistake occurs, for instance, in Chaucer s England, vol. ii. p. 230, Matthew Browne; who should have known better.
