William Langland Ordine dei libri (cronologico)
William Langland è presumed autore di un capolavoro della poesia in inglese medio, un'opera allegorica che esplora un ricco arazzo di temi religiosi. Un risultato significativo della sua scrittura è la sua capacità di tradurre il linguaggio e i concetti del chiostro in simboli e immagini accessibili alla gente comune. Mentre il linguaggio generale del poema è semplice e colloquiale, Langland impiega immagini potenti e dirette. La sua opera dimostra una profonda comprensione della teologia medievale e un profondo impegno per la dottrina cristiana, anche mentre osserva criticamente i difetti dei chierici e delle figure religiose del suo tempo.
William Langland's poem stands at the centre of the study of ideological conflict, social change and religious ideas in the later fourteenth century. It is a poem that vividly encapsulates the great issues and debates of the day and acts as a commentary on cataclysmic events such as the Peasants' Revolt (1381). This book deals with this topic.
