INTRODUCTORY ASSIGNMENT ON PIERS PLOWMAN.

     This assignment will "get you into" using the WorldWide Web -- in
Medieval studies, at least, but potentially for any- and everything!

     Go to my Medieval 
History and Literature Page.

     Once there, go to the section on "Middle
English Literature Other than Chaucer," and to the Langland Home Page.
You'll also see some specific links to Paul Halsall's Internet
Medieval Sourcebook right after this link.

     Please read the Langland Home Page and the sections from the
Internet Medieval Sourcebook which I've linked to it. But I encourage
you to browse around among other Medieval links (especially those in
section one of my page). 

     When you've done this to your fill, please write 300 words or so
about what you have found; how you have found it; and what you have
learned. Be specific: discuss one or two or three interesting
documents and sources.

     Send to me and everybody else!
