Piers Plowman: The Donaldson Translation, Middle English Text, Sources and Backgrounds, Criticism | 
so-soI spent 5.5 months working in this. Piers is important historically, both linguistically and politically. When the peasants revolted in 1381, this work, with its commoner plowman religious hero, was cited. It was popular amongst the underclasses (even if they were largely illiterate). Intellectually it‘s interesting in that it‘s inconclusive. Our author never resolves his issues. But, artistically it‘s only ok. It was work. I‘m glad I‘m done.
Suet624 That‘s too bad. Sounds like a book I‘m be interested in but it sounds a bit too much for me right now. 5d

Graywacke @Suet624 it‘s tough and droll. 🙂 Actually the beginning is better. The original version was 1/3 as long and had all the good parts. I think i would have been happier with that version. 5d
