- Description
- Fourteenth-century nominalist challenges to realism also challenged the universalizing truth of proverbs. Through his treatment of proverbs in NPT, WBP, and TC, Chaucer contrasts the "sic" of dominant realist discourse with the "non" of nominalist counterdiscourse, sometimes parodically.
