The Lost History of Piers Plowman by Lawrence Warner
This groundbreaking work challenges the received history of William Langland's Piers Plowman. Through close textual analysis, Lawrence Warner brings about a fundamental shift in our understanding of the production and transmission of the poem's three versions, establishing an entirely new paradigm for the study of Middle English literature.
"[Warner's] fundamental conclusion is the most radical in modern study of the poem. . . This is an original and important book, one that will shape thinking about the text of Piers Plowman for a long time to come." * Times Literary Supplement *
Lawrence Warner is Senior Lecturer in Middle English at at King's College London.
