  1. From James Simpson, Piers Plowman: An Introduction to the B-Text (London Longman, 1990)

  2. “And as the priest who confronts Piers is the institutionally sanctioned mirror image of what Piers does, possessing the pastoral authority the plowman has by nature rather than by appointed office, so Ymaginatif presents an authorized version of what Will as a visionary and a maker aspires to do, to integrate what books and experience can show. Will, however, conducts his enterprise outside the institutional sanctions for using this visionary capacity either as a memorial image by which he might reform his own life or as an instument of explicit teaching. There is no institutional place, Ymaginatif declares, for a serious imaginative fiction outside of penitential or didactic purposes." Anne Middleton, "Narration and the Invention of Experience: Episodic Form in Piers Plowman" (1982), 112-13.
