{"product_id":"conduct-david-a-gardener-for-man-9780244249939","title":"A Gardener for Man","description":"\"A Gardener for Man\" is an attempt to evaluate William Langland¿s poem, `The Vision of Piers Plowman¿ in the light of its Fourteenth Century background and also in terms of its relevance to the modern world. The poem holds up a mirror to medieval society and reflects a world driven by the cash machine and neglectful of its social responsibilities. In the person of Piers Plowman a saviour is found, who becomes the effective Gardener of Mankind. In a modern world driven by neo-liberal economics, and threatened by climate change we, too, need to find a new way of addressing the problems of society and the environment. Perhaps the example of Piers Plowman points the way? A retired history teacher, David Conduct now lives in Durham where he taught for over twenty years. A graduate of the universities of Hull, London, Warwick and Leicester, his main academic interest lies in the history of ideas.","brand":"Lulu Press, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53768901624150,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/conduct-david-a-gardener-for-man-9780244249939","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
