Description

Kindly Similitude is the first study to offer a detailed reading of the many passages in Piers PlowmanA, B, and C concerned with marriage and family, and to place them within the frameworks of contemporary social history, law, theology, exegesis, and literature. The author shows how Langland draws on the experiences of familial life both literally and metaphorically to further his expositions of law and love, nature and grace, the image of God in individuals and society, the use of time and material goods, the perversion of right relationships through covetise, and doing well in the active life. For Langland, an unmistakably public poet, the marital household is inextricably linked to religious, economic, and political institutions. It reflects and transmits a divine exemplar of community, and plays a fundamental role in creating the society in which he and his audience must live. This important new critical approach complements the strong current attention to the poem's intellectual and ecclesiological contexts. Professor M. TERESA TAVORMINAis at the Department of English, Michigan State University. Review Discussion is richly informed by social-historical knowledge... careful and sensitive reading. MEDIUM AEVUMA judicious, as well as an erudite book. NOTES AND QUERIESA book that bears upon the poem in ways both substantive and subtle, and the information, thoughtfulness and eloquence brought to the topic amply succeed in making its relevance apparent. REVIEW OF ENGLISH STUDIES Great industry and erudition. STUDIES IN THE AGE OF CHAUCER
