# The Vision and Creed of Piers Ploughman, Volume 2

By William Langland.

"The Vision and Creed of Piers Ploughman, Volume 2" by William Langland is a Middle English allegorical narrative poem written between 1370-86. Through a series of dream visions, the narrator Will searches for the true Christian life, encountering allegorical figures like Dowel, Dobet, and Dobest. This theological allegory and social satire follows Will's spiritual quest through medieval Catholic society, featuring the plowman Piers who guides penitents seeking salvation. The poem explores sin, redemption, poverty, and the nature of virtuous living through vivid dreamscapes and moral instruction. (Summary by Project Gutenberg, written by machine.)
