Piers Plowman has long been considered one of the greatest poems of
medieval England. Current scholarship on this alliterative
masterpiece looks very different from that available even a decade
ago. New information about the manuscripts of the poem, new
historical discoveries, and new investigations of its literary,
cultural and theoretical scope have fundamentally altered the very
meaning of Langland's art. This Companion thus critically surveys
traditional scholarship, with the aim of recuperating its best
insights, and it ventures forth into newer areas of inquiry attuned
to questions of social setting, institutional context, intellectual
and literary history, theory, and the revitalized fields of
codicology and paleography. By proceeding through chapters that
offer cumulatively wider views as well as stand-alone analyses of
topics most crucial to understanding Piers Plowman, this Companion
gives serious students and seasoned scholars alike up-to-date
knowledge of this intricate and beautiful poem.
