William Langland Quotes
First impressions of mediaeval life are usually coloured by the courtly romances of Malory and his later refiners.

Piers Plowman stands alone as a revelation of the ignorance and misery of the lower classes, whose multiplied grievances came to a head in the Peasants' Revolt of 1381.
