About the author
Joseph Anglade (1868–1930) was a French priest, writer and folklorist. He devoted long-term attention to Occitan and French folklore, conducting research at the intersection of language, literature and folklore. His representative work, Les Troubadours, centres on the medieval literary phenomenon of the troubadours. On the available evidence, his writing combines scholarly synthesis with accessible introduction, addressing readers interested in Occitan culture and French folk traditions and helping to illuminate the linguistic and literary heritage of southern France. Public information about his life and academic career is limited, and Chinese-language scholarship on him remains scarce; his significance therefore lies chiefly in his choice of subject matter, linking regional language, folk narrative and literary history.
