- Revises and adds to Henry Bradshaw's discussion of the origins of the "Plowman's Tale," examining chronological and regional features of vocabulary, allusions to contemporary fashion and events, and Lollard ideology to argue that the poem was written no later than 1450, with several later revisions and interpolations.
