Joseph Bédier (1864-1938) was one of the most famous scholars of his day, holding prestigious posts and lecturing throughout Europe and the US. A scholar of the French Middle Ages, he translated 'Tristan and Isolde' as well as France's national epic, 'The Song of Roland'. Bédier was publicly committed to French hegemony, yet he hailed from a culture that belied this ideal - the island of Réunion in the southern Indian Ocean. This book demonstrates that Bédier's relationship to this multicultural and economically peripheral colony motivates his nationalism in complex ways.
