The Vision and Creed of Piers Ploughman, Volume 2 by William Langland
"The Vision and Creed of Piers Ploughman, Volume 2" by William Langland is a Middle English allegorical narrative poem written between 1370-86. Through a series of dream visions, the narrator Will searches for the true Christian life, encountering allegorical figures like Dowel, Dobet, and Dobest.

The poem explores sin,
redemption, poverty, and the nature of virtuous living through vivid dreamscapes and moral instruction. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
