#liflode #piersplowmanreadinggroup Piers Plowman B-text, passus 3,ll.1-100. Lady Meed (personification of money, reward) is at court, bribing and greasing the wheels of government. Details to look out for: her description about stained glass windows, the critique of retailers.

Piers Plowman B-Text, Passus II: In which Meed the Maid, the personification of reward, wages, bribery, kickbacks, hush money, is nearly wed to Falsehood.

Dear Group - We are reading passus 2 of the B text for Wednesday. Lady Mede: will she corrupt society? Those of you interested in the political machinations of #Brexit will find much to compare. See you Wednesday morning!

Let's focus on a short passage, B.I, ll. 148-58. What is Love? It is a heavenly remedy, a curative spice, a plant of peace, at once as ponderous as the human body and as light and as sharp as needle. Show me an image of this "plant of peace"!

#liflode #piersplowmanreadinggroup on Friday this week because leader has terrible head cold. Sorry!
I just love the last dozen lines: take some time to read them aloud! I love the hectic lists of craftsman and the hucksters yelling "Hot pies, hot!" #liflode #piersplowmanreadinggroup
Or go to @PennSound and hear some Langlandians reading the poem https://t.co/WoJGARoDwU
#piersplowmanreadinggroup #liflode #2
Prologue: This part is most famous for the Mouse & Rat Parliament. There are at least 3 versions of PP (plus a "Z" version) and each manuscript is a little different form the next. Can you find your place in this one? BL Cotton Vesp. B. XVI
#liflode #piersplowmanreadinggroup #piersplowman
For next Wed, let's get to the end of the Prologue.
You'll read some riddling "thought experiments" about the structure of political life, including the "rat parliament," and who gets participate. Who dares to advise the ruler?
