William Langland's allegorical poem Piers Plowman is becoming
ever-more popular in medieval English literature courses. But most
current introductions focus primarily on the B text, leaving a gap
in available resources for the poem's study. As Piers Plowman
continues to gain academic attention in all its three versions (the
A, B, and C-texts), teachers and students need a new perspective
and new approach to the poem as an evolving whole. This first
comprehensive introduction to Langland's masterful work covers all
three iterations and outlines the various changes that occurred
between each. Useful for individuals reading any version of Piers
Plowman, this engaging guide offers a much-needed navigational
summary, a chronology of historic events relevant to the poem,
biographical notes about Langland, and keys to characters and
proper pronunciation. Calabrese's definitive and refreshingly
lively volume allows readers to navigate this daunting poem and to
contextualize it within the literary history of Western culture.
