Product Description
Dr. Anita O'Connell, University of Sunderland.
"Excellent tanslation, excellent notes." --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

Book Description
This is a new translation into contemporary English of one of the greatest poems of the English Middle Ages. Piers Plowman remains of enduring interest for its vivid picture of the whole life of medieval society, for its deeply imaginative religious vision, and for its passionate concern to see justice and truth prevail in our world.

A. V. C. Schmidt's translation of the B-text is provided with an Introduction and extensive Notes which place the work in its contemporary setting and offer a full interpretative commentary on the poem. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
