"In this studyof the B-text of Piers Plowman, [the author] argues that Langland is a wri ter who combines the Latin learning of a medieval 'clerk' with the traditional skills of an alliterative 'maker' to create an art unique for its linguistic subtlety and poetic richness. Beginning with an account of Langland'sattitude to the moral and artistic demands of his poem, the book proceeds to a detailed study of the nature of his versecraft, examining the structure of the line, alliterative technique, enjambement and a variety of devicesused to enrich the texture, from complex forms of alliteration to pararhym e and rhyme." - from the dj.
