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. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's
Classics has made available the widest range of literature from
around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's
commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a
wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions
