ABSTRACT

This essay shows that William Langland / Longe Wille wrote The Romance of William of Palerne. It brings forward evidence from its text in two main ways: (1). synchronically, i.e. across the text; and (2). diachronically, ‘across time’. There is a comparison between this c. 1360-61 work and the previous 1191-4 NE Old French / Picard poem Le Roman de Guillaume de Palerne specifically of three passages from each.
