- Description
- Assesses the presence of cosmopolitan thinking in medieval literature, drawing examples from Fulcher of Chartres' "Historia Hierosolymitana," TC, and the medieval Troy story at large. In Chaucer's poem, Criseyde discovers through Diomedes' amorous advances in the Greek camp that the "cosmopolite . . . operates among strangers as a stranger in order to confirm her place in the cultural system they share"—i.e., the "chivalric-Ovidian world structured by love" that is common to Trojans and Greeks alike.
