- Description
- Surveys Ockhamism and Chaucer's exposure to it. Through both a "philosophical interpretation of character" and a close analysis of images, words, and discourse, Andretta maintains Chaucer's allegiance to "manifest truths that are skeptical, and only probable." Considers the epilogue to TC as revealing "the entire poem's message: one must look up beyond thus world to behold the real truth."
