I think that you have a valid point here. I agree with you that literature reflects and confronts the social concerns of the time, it would almost be impossible for it not to. When you say that due to the ploitical and social differences that appear in "Piers" are comparable to today's you point out something that is very intereasting, how do you think the society that exists a 1000 years from now will view our society today. I think that it will be drastically different, but there will be different interpretations from the different classes that exist in that society.
