Piers the Ploughman Paperback - 1959
by William Langland; J. F. Goodridge (Translator); Introduction by J. F. Goodridge
Summary
The work of an obscure fourteenth-century cleric, Piers the Ploughman is concerned with the largest of all poetic themes, the meaning of man's life in relation to his ultimate destiny. This spiritual allegory is set against a colorful background of teeming medieval life between the 'Tower of Truth' and the 'Dungeon of Falsehood'. With an Introduction, Notes and a book-by-book Commentary on the allegory, J.F. Goodridge's modern translation of the poem captures the flavour of Langland's vivid pictures and vernacular expressions.
First line
THE STORY. Langland dreams that the Lady Holy Church comes to explain his vision.
