Abstract

Abstract

The different versions of all refer to the Malvern Hills, where local interest was first sparked by the editions of Whitaker, Wright, and Skeat. Since then, numerous Malvern historians, clerics, writers, artists and composers have been inspired to create musical performances, memorial windows, plays, poems, articles and lectures, and a new alliterative translation of the poem has been made. The names Langland and Piers Plowman have also been used for other purposes, including a wartime club, dramatic and literary societies, and street names, while both Great Malvern Priory and Little Malvern Priory claim a connection with the poet.
