Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book places the authorship of Piers Plowman under critical scrutiny, challenging the idea of single authorship for this important work of Medieval English literature. The author examines perceived incoherencies and inconsistencies within the text, arguing that these are due to a lost or misplaced leaf from the original manuscript and not to negligence on the part of a single author. This theory posits that the version we know today was actually compiled from the work of three distinct authors, with each author responsible for a different version of the poem. The book also considers the way in which the text has been interpreted and re-interpreted over time, from its original composition in the 14th century to the present day. This fascinating and carefully argued work will appeal to anyone with an interest in medieval literature and the complexities of textual analysis. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.
