This story predates that of Lancelot and Guinevere, and is one of the most influential romances of the medieval period, inspiring many artists, from story-tellers to painters to composers. Joseph Bedier (1 January 1864 - 29 August 1938) was a French writer and scholar and historian of medieval France. Bedier was born in Paris, France to Adolphe Bedier, a lawyer of Breton origin, and spent his childhood in Reunion. He was a professor of medieval French literature at the University de Fribourg, Switzerland (1889 -1891) and the College de France, Paris (c. 1893). Modern theories of the fabliaux and the chansons de geste are based on two of Bedier's studies. Bedier revived interest in several important old French texts, including Le roman de Tristan et Iseut (1900), La chanson de Roland (1921), and Les fabliaux (1893). He was a member of the Academie francaise from 1920 until his death. His Tristan et Iseut was translated into Cornish by A. S. D. Smith, into English by Hilaire Belloc and Paul Rosenfeld, and into German by Rudolf G. Binding. Bedier was also joint editor of the two-volume Litterature francaise, one of the most valuable modern general histories of French literature. He was elected a Foreign Honorary Member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1929. Bedier died in Le Grand-Serre, France.
