Medieval History
Richard Utz recently reviewed Michelle Warren's monograph, Creole Medievalisms (2011) for The Medieval Review:
There is a long history, replete with all the usual elements of ideological difference, of seeing certain key medievalists as changing the central paradigms governing medieval studies, and Joseph Bédier (1864-1938) has been an important part of that history. As recently as in the 1990s, the representatives of the New Medievalism--mostly North American scholars in Romance language and literature study--reminded us that Bédier was the principal agent in the resistance against the Barbarian hordes of German(ic) scholars who, in the second half of the nineteenth century, invaded the realms of French, Spanish, and English medieval texts with a narrowly scientistic and positivistic methodology termed "philology."
