Piers Plowman by William Langland, Stephen H.A. Shepherd, Elizabeth Robertson
3.0
If you have never read medieval literature in its Middle English form, I highly advise you to not start here. Who was it that said that no one should ever have to read Piers Plowman for the first time? I forget, because reading Piers Plowman for the first time melted my brain.
That aside, I appreciated the modern english translation immensely, especially reading this text for the first time. Piers Plowman itself is like a knot that's impossible to untangle. I feel slightly validated by the general agreement on this matter.
