Reviews

David Aers, as a master interpreter, shows us how he reads Langland and, while doing so, instructs us in how to read. His brilliant essay models for us how it is possible, and indeed desirable, to open the usually well-policed border between theological reflection and literary analysis and thereby aim at a fuller reading of what a life of faith encompasses. Along the way, we gain an appreciation of William Langland's formidable Middle English epic masterpiece, Piers Plowman, and the riches it repays our careful attention. --James Wetzel, Augustinian Endowed Chair in the thought of St. Augustine and Professor of Philosophy, Villanova University.
