Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Vision of Piers the Plowman: An English Poem of the Fourteenth Century The translation of Piers the Plowman contained in this book was first published in 1895, and again, revised, in 1899. It then went out of print for some years, and the present new edition has been undertaken at the suggestion of Mr. J. W. Mackail, late Professor of Poetry at Oxford. The text has been entirely revised and compared again, line for line, with the original Middle English. The annotations (for some of which the late Professor Skeat and his publishers kindly allowed the Editor to make use of the notes in the Oxford editions of the poem) have also been revised and additions made. An outline of the controversy now proceeding about the authorship of Piers the Plowman has been added to the Appendix. The Introduction, treating of the poem, is new. It is scarcely needful to repeat that this modern version of a fourteenth-century work is not meant for the literary student who reads Middle English with ease. It is for the ordinary reader who is interested in the matter of the poem, but to whom the original form - unlike Chaucer´s easier English - offers real difficulty.
