Virtue of Necessity: Inconclusiveness and Narrative Form in Chaucer's Poetry
- Published
- Columbus: Ohio State University Press, 1984.
- Description
- Dream visions, TC, the "outer form" of CT, and individual tales reveal an authorial evasion of closed, authoritative determinations of meaning and moral values--correlative to the cognitive indeterminacy of late-medieval nominalism. CT is suited to Chaucer's inconclusive epistemology.
