William Langland, who was one of the first poets to write in English since the Norman Conquest was probably born in Herefordshire somewhere between Colwall and Ledbury. He is famous for writing The Vision of William Concerning Piers The Plowman, an allegorical poem with religious and moral themes.The poem starts off with his wandering over the Malverns, and seems to mention such local places as the imagery that may be seen if one visits the choir stalls at the priory church of St Giles in Little Malvern. If one assumes that he is identified with the dreamer in his poem then it is probable that he had some education at the Benedictine school in Malvern. Written about the same time as Chaucer's Canterbury Tales this poem too gives a valuable insight into contemporary society with its social comment and irony. Langland lived for a while in Cornhill, London where he was probably a cleric in minor religious orders. This poem is, amongst other things, a good example of how the meaning of words can change over the centuries. For example the word nice originally meant ignorant, as in the passage

End of Europe's Middle Ages William Langland Generally accepted as the author of Piers Plowman, Langland seems to have been an educated servant of the Church. Between about 1360 and 1400, he wrote three substantially different versions of Piers. The poem's narrator recounts a dream of allegorical characters like Holy Church, Reason, and Anger discussing and displaying moral and spiritual conditions. Langland puts these characters in the midst of everyday life - so Gluttony, for example, sets out for church, strays into an alehouse, carouses and quarrels with other scoundrels, and finally staggers home, sick and drunk, in the dark. The plowman of the title embodies an ideal of simple virtue. Many of Langland's views resembled those of Wyclif and the Lollards, even though he criticized them for their rebelliousness. - Janis Svilpis, Department of English, University of Calgary Piers Plowman (excerpt) Return to Literature The End of Europe's Middle Ages / Applied History Research Group / University of Calgary
