New Chaucer Studies: Pedagogy and Profession

Louise M Bishop, Associate Professor emerita at the University of Oregon, reflects on the history of the International Piers Plowman Society, and its developments and major figures in the research of Langland’s poem. Bishop honors a long list of contributors to Landland’s legacy: scholars that edited Piers Plowman’s different texts, wrote about the subject, organized conferences, and even a website (Piers Plowman Electronic Archive), allowing for the expansion and diversification of academic discussion.
