Nominalistic Perspectives on Chaucer's 'The Man of Law's Tale'
- Published
- Comitatus 23 (1992): 80-100.
- Description
- Reviews providential readings of CT, asserting that nominalism furnishes theological context for MLT; contrasts MLT with its source in Trevet; and surveys use of the term "nominalism." In MLT, God's remoteness and arbitrariness ad the "extreme limitations on human rationality" reveal a nominalistic background that contrasts with Custance's faith.
