   Book Review

Choice
"The diverse problems Piers Plowman has posed for modern criticism have made ample opportunity for a thoroughly unfocused work, but this collection of essays holds together remarkably well. . . . All are excellent and each covers a remarkable amount of material. . . This book is an essential starting point for an examination of Piers, whatever facet of the poem one wishes to look at, and is an excellent introduction to late 14th-century literature. Highly recommended."

Book Description
A Companion to Piers Plowman is the first comprehensive guide to William Langland's fourteenth-century masterpiece. Until now no single volume has discussed the broad range of issues raised here, nor have previous studies drawn on such an internationally distinguished group of Langland scholars.

From the Back Cover
"Absolutely essential reading for anyone interested in a serious consideration of Piers Plowman and also for anyone planning critical or scholarly investigation on it (in other words, for all students of the poem, all readers of the poem, and all scholars of the poem." (Robert Worth Frank, Jr.)
