From Lawmen to Plowmen

Anglo-Saxon Legal Tradition and the School of Langland

• Gebundenes Buch

By comparing Anglo-Saxon charters, sermons, and law codes with Langland’s  Piers Plowman and similar poems, Yeager demonstrates that this legal and homiletical literature had an influential afterlife in the fourteenth-century poetry of William Langland and his imitators.
