Much of this allusiveness is to areas of learning that are not at every modern reader's fingertips. A particular difficulty is the existence of the poem in three authorial versions of almost desperate complexity. It will be an immense triumph to have a commentary which elucidates their relationships as a matter of policy and not simply as the result of conflating annotation on the different versions.\" * Derek Pearsall *\u003cbr\u003e\"The Penn Commentary series is not for first-time readers or undergraduates to purchase or to read directly, but it will serve as a reference work for teachers prepping class at any level and for advanced scholars pursuing new work on the poem. Lawler's 500-page volume, like the three already published, is a font of knowledge, critical, historical, literary, theological, and bibliographical.\" * \u003ci\u003eThe Medieval Review\u003c\/i\u003e *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eNote to the Reader\u003cbr\u003e Preface\u003cbr\u003e C Passus 15; B Passūs 13-14\u003cbr\u003e C Passus 16; B Passūs 14-15\u003cbr\u003e C Passus 17; B Passus 15\u003cbr\u003e C Passus 18; B Passus 16\u003cbr\u003e C Passus 19; B Passus 17\u003cbr\u003e Works Cited\u003cbr\u003e Index\u003cbr\u003e Passages Cited\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Pennsylvania Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49405737533783,"sku":"9780812250268","price":77.35,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780812250268.jpg?v=1730493436","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-penn-commentary-on-piers-plowman-volume-4-c-passus-1519-b-passus-1317-9780812250268","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
