Piers Plowman: A New Annotated Edition Of The C-text
Merchant: Oxfam
Merchant's Category: Media> Books
William Langland's poem stands at the centre of the study of ideological conflict, social change and religious ideas in the later fourteenth century. It is a poem that vividly encapsulates the great issues and debates of the day and acts as a commentary on cataclysmic events such as the Peasants' Revolt (1381), the condemnation of Wyclif's ideas (1382) and the rise of Lollardy. It is also one of the greatest poems of the English Middle Ages, alongside Dante and Chaucer. The poem has provoked a sophisticated and wide-ranging critical literature. For his edition of the C-text of Piers Plowman, Derek Pearsall completely revised the text, added side glosses for the benefit of student readers of the poem (without sacrificing the glossary), and revised and updated the explanatory notes. The Introduction has also been expanded, revised and reshaped. Condition: Used, Good. slightly bumped corners, one spine crease, otherwise clean cover and white page edges. Some passages heavily annotated in pencil, less than 20% of the book (see example photo for detail).
