Piers the Plowman
Postscript summary
Completed in 1886, Walter Skeat’s three-version edition of Piers the Plowman remains valuable for the accuracy of the text but also for Skeat's conjectures and conclusions. Volume I presents the A, B and C texts in parallel, and the text of Richard the Redeless, a poem then misattributed to Langland and now known as Mum and the Sothsegger. Volume II contains Skeat's critical introduction and commentaries on both poems.
