Gustave Cohen

Gustave Cohen (24 December 1879 – 10 June 1958) was a French medievalist.

Cohen was born and grew up in Brussels. He fought for the French army in World War I. He became professor of medieval literature at the Sorbonne, encouraging his students to put on dramatic productions of medieval material. After the Vichy government forced him to resign in 1940, Cohen emigrated to the United States. In February 1942 he helped found the New York École libre des hautes études with Henri Focillon and Jacques Maritain. He established the Entretiens de Pontigny, symposiums of French cultural activity held at Mount Holyoke College in 1942, 1943 and 1944.[1]

gollark: Sure, might as well change it.
gollark: I also had a cool idea for unifying tags, links and potentially other things.
gollark: It's a "wiki-style personal note-taking app" and also eternally unfinished.
gollark: Now all minoteaur needs is all other minoteaur features ever. I should find what those were again.
gollark: The upshot of this is that you can press "s", type a query, have relevant pages semifuzzily matched, and press "enter" to navigate to the one you want (assuming the one you want is also at the top). HIGHLY productive.
