Biografia William Langland
William Langland
Modifica bioCronologia

Langland, William, nacque nel 1332 e morì nel 1400.

Prese gli ordini minori ma non divenne mai prete.
Abitò a Londra dove si manteneva cantando e copiando documenti.
La sua grande opera, Piero l'aratore, o meglio, La visione di William su Piero l'aratore, è un poema allegorico in versi non rimati. E' una satira sociale e una visione della semplice vita cristiana.
Il poema consiste di tre sogni, visioni:
Il primo nel quale la Santa Chiesa e Lady Meed (che rappresenta la tentazione della ricchezza) cercano il sognatore.
Il secondo nel quale Piero guida una folla di penitenti alla ricerca della Santa Verità.
Il terzo, la visione della pratica della virtù, nel quale Piero diviene il buon samaritano che pratica la carità.
E la visione del fare-meglio, nel quale il semplice aratore è identificato con Gesù stesso.

I 47 manoscritti del poema vengono riuniti in 3 gruppi.
Il testo A, il testo B, che tratta della terza visione;
il testo C, una revisione del B.

Molti studiosi concordano che il testo A e il B sono direttamente attribuibili a Langland, poichè tratti biografici sono direttamente rintracciabili nel testo.
Alcuni ritengono invece che il testo è opera di dieci o più autori.
