This ambitious work is the first full-length study to link William Langland's great poem Piers Plowman to wider medieval enquiries into the nature of intellectual and spiritual desire. Nicolette Zeeman traces the history of psychology and its iconography in medieval devotional and theological literature and shows how an understanding of these traditions opens up a completely new reading of Piers Plowman. This radical approach sheds new light on the history of medieval psychology, devotion, pastoral care, medieval textual theory and literary history.
