Abstract

Abstract

This essay investigates the nature of Langland’s thought experiments by introducing a less frequently noted aspect of : its interest in non-human animals. It argues that the poem’s philosophical interest in animals is key to understanding its approach to literary experiment, and further, that its literary experiments with animals are key to understanding its more radical ideas about virtue and salvation.
