Résumé

Résumé : "Piers Plowman" is a Middle English allegorical narrative poem attributed to William Langland, a 14th-century poet. Key features of "Piers Plowman" include: Allegorical and Dream Vision: The poem takes the form of a dream vision, a popular literary device of the time. The narrator, often referred to as Will, dreams of a journey seeking the true Christian life. The Character Piers Plowman: Piers Plowman, a symbolic figure representing the common man or the Christian striving for a virtuous life, is the central character. The narrative follows Piers through various trials and tribulations. Social and Religious Critique: "Piers Plowman" is known for its profound social and religious critique. It addresses issues such as corruption in the Church, the shortcomings of the ruling class, and the challenges faced by ordinary people. Three Versions: The poem exists in three major versions: A, B, and C. Each version represents a revision and expansion of the previous one, reflecting Langland's evolving ideas and the changing social and political landscape. Alliterative Verse: Langland wrote "Piers Plowman" in a form of alliterative verse, a poetic tradition that relies on the repetition of initial consonant sounds. "Piers Plowman" is a complex and multifaceted work, and interpretations of its meaning have varied. It is often studied for its linguistic richness, social commentary, and insights into the religious and philosophical concerns of the time.
Biographie : William Langland est l'auteur supposé de Pierre le laboureur, poème narratif allégorique considéré comme un chef-d'oeuvre de la littérature anglaise du Moyen Âge antérieure à Geoffrey Chaucer.
