From lawmen to plowmen : Anglo-Saxon legal tradition and the School of Langland /

By comparing Anglo-Saxon charters, sermons, and law codes with Langland's Piers Plowman and similar poems, Yeager demonstrates that this legal and homiletical literature had an influential afterlife in the fourteenth-century poetry of William Langland and his imitators.
