Nominalist Perspectives on Chaucer's Poetry: A Bibliographical Essay
- Published
- Medievalia et Humanistica 20 (1994): 147-73.
- Description
- Surveys and evaluates scholarly work on Chaucer and nominalist--especially Ockhamist--philosophy, using four categories: epistemology, universals versus particulars, poetic structure, and relation of human to divine. Chaucer's awareness of and interest in the nominalist controversy is clear, but critics must not assume a specific relationship between Chaucer and nominalism or "over-philosophize" Chaucer.
