Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Vision of Piers the Plowman: An English Poem of the Fourteenth Century
And here I wish very heartily to thank Professor Skeat, who is always ready to help younger workers in his own field, for the very generous permission he has given me to make such use of his Notes as I have done. Without that permission my labour in annotating this translation would have been trebled. I would also gratefully acknowledge the cordial consent given to me for the same purpose by the delegates of the Clarendon Press, who publish the above editions of Piers the Plowman.
