Creole Medievalisms
A fascinating addition to the field of medievalism studies: Michelle R. Warren,
Creole Medievalism. Colonial France and Joseph Bédier's Middle Ages. U of Minnesota P, 2010.
The publisher summarizes:
Probing the work of the once famous but little understood cultural figure Joseph Bédier, Creole Medievalism illustrates how postcolonial France and Réunion continue to grapple with histories too varied to meet expectations of national unity. Michelle R. Warren demonstrates that Bédier?s relationship to this multicultural and economically peripheral colony motivates his nationalism in complex ways.Publisher's LINK to full information.
