What to expect
Butchers, bakers, brewers, businessmen, farmers, fabric workers, entertainers, comedians, gluttons, lechers, spongers and swindlers, prostitutes and parasites, the pope and his priests, the king and his courtiers, compete for attention in this lively and subversive vision of corruption in fourteenth-century England. The popular tale was altered, expanded, and imitated many times. This recording presents the initial two-dream Vision of Piers Plowman in its simplest and clearest form (the A-text), translated by W. A. Neilson, with an appendix of supplementary episodes from the later B and C texts.
