More about the book

Set in a dream vision framework, this work explores the journey of Piers, a Christ-like figure, as he seeks Truth and embodies the struggle for spiritual and social justice. Through allegorical characters representing various virtues and vices, the narrative critiques contemporary society and its moral failings. Langland's intricate use of Middle English verse combines rich imagery with philosophical and theological themes, inviting readers to reflect on the nature of faith, work, and the quest for a just society.
