Joseph Bédier (1864-1938) was an important Twentieth century French writer and scholar. From 1889, he was a teacher of medieval French literature at various universities. Modern theories of the Fabliaux and the Chansons de Geste are based on two of Bédier's studies. Bédier revived interest in several important old French texts, including Les Fabliaux (1893), Le Roman de Tristan et Iseut (The Romance of Tristan and Iseult) (1900), and La Chanson de Roland (1921).
