The Vision and Creed of Piers Ploughman, Volume 1 by William Langland
"The Vision and Creed of Piers Ploughman, Volume 1" by William Langland is a Middle English allegorical narrative poem written around 1370–86. In a series of dream visions, the narrator Will searches for the true Christian life through medieval England's social and spiritual landscape. He encounters allegorical figures including Holy Church, Lady Mede, and the plowman Piers, while seeking to understand Dowel, Dobet, and Dobest. This mix of theological allegory and social
satire explores salvation, sin, and society through vivid medieval imagery. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
