The Poetic Philosophy of Particulars: Criseyde as Nominalist in Chaucer's Troilus and Criseyde

Panel: 
Chaucer and Related Topics
Abstract: 

Within the framework of the philosophical nominalist-realist debate, I contend that the notoriously opaque Criseyde in Chaucer's Troilus and Criseyde is a nominalist character due to her preoccupation with the ephemeral "particulars" of present existence and due to her agency.
