Excerpt from Langland's Vision of Piers the Plowman: An English Poem of the Fourteenth Century, Done Into Modern Prose
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.
