Piers Plowman and the Reinvention of Church Law in the Late Middle Ages

By Arvind Thomas

Focusing on Piers Plowman's preoccupation with wrongdoing in the B and C versions, Arvind Thomas argues that the poem's mobilization of juridical concepts not only engenders a poetics informed by canonist thought but also expresses an alternative vision of canon law from that proposed by medieval jurists and today's medievalists.
