His alliterative The Vision of William Concerning Piers the Plowman (see Piers Plowman ) was written in three (or possibly four) versions between about 1367 and 1386. The poem forms a series of allegorical visions, in which Piers develops from the typical poor peasant to a symbol of Jesus, and condemns the social and moral evils of 14th-century England. It is a masterpiece in combining the depiction of a spiritual pilgrimage with scenes of contemporary social life for a satirical purpose. makeButton("REFERENCE.HOME","R1") makeButtonNoSize("REFERENCE.HOME","R2") makeButton("REFERENCE.HOME","R3") makeButton("REFERENCE.HOME","R4") Your browser does not support inline frames or is currently configured not to display inline frames.

More information on your topic Langland William (b. c. c. 1400), presumed author of one of the greatest examples of Middle English alliterative poetry, generally known as Piers Plowman an allegorical work with a complex variety of religious themes. One of the major achievements of Piers Plowman is that it translates the language and conceptions of the cloister into symbols and images that could be understood by the layman. In general, the language of the poem is simple and colloquial, but some of the author's imagery is powerful and direct. There were originally thought to be three versions of Piers Plowman: the A version of the text, which was the earliest, followed by the B and C versions that consisted of revisions and further amplifications of the major themes of A. In recent years, however, a fourth version, called Z, has been suggested and the order of issue questioned. The version described here is from the B text, which consists of (1) a prologue and seven passus (divisions) concerned primarily with the life of man in society, the dangers of Meed (love of gain), and manifestations of the seven capital sins; and (2) 13 passus ostensibly dealing with the lives of Do-wel, Do-bet, and Do-best; in effect, with the growth of the individual Christian in self-knowledge, grace, and charity. In its general structure the poem mirrors the complexity of the themes with which it deals, particularly in the recurring concepts of Do-wel, Do-bet, and Do-best, all in the end seen as embodied in Christ. They are usually identified with the active, contemplative, and "mixed" religious life, but the allegory of the poem is often susceptible to more than one interpretation, and some critics have related it to the traditional exegetical way of interpreting the Scriptures historically, allegorically, anagogically, and topologically.

WILLIAM LANGLAND LANGLAND, WILLIAM Skeat, with the addition of Richard the Redeless, and containing full notes to all three texts, with a glossary and indexes, in 1867-1885. The Clarendon Pressedition, by the same editor, appeared in i886.The A-text contains a prologue and 12 passus or cantos (i.-iv., the vision of the Lady Meed; v.-viii., the vision of Piers thePlowman; ix.-xii., the vision of Do-wel, Do-bet and Do-best),with 2567 lines. The B-text is much longer, containing 7242 lines, with additional passus following after xi. of A, the earlier passus being altered in variousrespects. The C-text, with 7~~7lines, is a revision of B.The general contents of the poem may be gathered from abrief description of the C-text. This is divided into twenty-threepassus, nominally comprising four parts, called respectivelyVisio de Petro Plowman, Visio de Do-we!, Visio de Do-bet andVisio de Do-best. Here Do-bet signifies do better in modern English; the explanation of the names being that he who doesa kind action does well, he who teaches others to act kindly does better, whilst he who combines both practice and theory, both doing good himself and teaching others to do the same, does best. But the visions by rio means closely correspond to these descrip- tions; and Skeat divides the whole into a set of eleven visions,which may be thus enumerated: (i) Vision of the Field Full of Folk, of Holy Church, and of the Lady Meed (passus i.-v.);(2) Vision of the Seven Deadly Sins, and of Piers the Plowman (pass. vi.-x.);

Talbot Donaldson, and Elizabeth D. Kirk Amazon base price: Used price: Buy one from zShops for: Average review score: The most inspirational book besides the Bible This poem is one of the most beautiful things I have ever read. I am not a specialist in Middle English, so I cannot say what was lost in the translation into Modern English. I have a copy of the B-Text version which is in Middle English, and if you are like me and have no background therein, this is definitely the version to possess. It was written circa 1380 and gives an excellent account of life in Plantagenent England and the behavior of the people. The money economy was relatively new, and he saw the negative effects that it had upon both the secular authorities and the Church. The poem is written as an allegory in which the author tries to reconcile the needs of human society with satisfying our Lord our God. Similar to Pilgrim's Progress, the author has a vision, in which he is encounters different aspects of humanity (Covetousness, Sloth, Soul, Knowledge, etc.) on his attempt to find Truth (or God). It is definitely not light reading, and there is so much deep thought that one has to spend a lot of time reading it slowly, as I am sure it was done in the 'Middle Ages'.
