Timeline

2019

In 2019, Frakes received the Modern Language Association Book Prize for Early Yiddish Epic (Leviant Memorial Prize). The MLA citation reads: “In ‘Early Yiddish Epic,’ Jerold C. Frakes uses his vast and precise historical and philological knowledge of Old Yiddish to render the great epic texts written in that language into lucid, vivid, and compelling English prose…. ‘Early Yiddish Epic’ is a field-changing book in the strictest sense of that term; now that these long-neglected works are available in English translation, the study of Yiddish literature will experience a shift in its center of gravity.”

2017

Since publishing Early Yiddish Epic, Frakes has also published The Emergence of Early Yiddish Literature: Cultural Translation in Ashkenaz (2017) and A Guide to Old Literary Yiddish (2017). His current work is on language and epistemology in the works of Primo Levi.

1989

Frakes’s published research spans numerous fields of study, especially the medieval literatures of German, English, Yiddish, Norse, and Latin, and includes monographic studies, text editions, collections of essays, and translations (from French, German, Latin, Yiddish, Norse, Hebrew and Ottoman). His publications have been recognized internationally, especially following his 1989 study, The Politics of Interpretation: Alterity and Ideology in Old Yiddish Studies. As Emmanuel Goldsmith writes, “This is a work of high scholarship and lucidity. It will become a standard in its field and will be quoted in every work on Yiddish and in many on Jewish history and literature for decades to come.” In the Jewish Quarterly Review, Jürgen Biehl writes that “All . . . future historical works on Yiddish will certainly have to be seen in light of Frakes’s criticism. This makes his study, with its conclusiveness of argumentation, an indispensable tool for the historian of every language, and not only those interested in Yiddish.” Since 1989, Frakes’s scholarship has been recognized through numerous research fellowships and prizes, among them: the Alexander von Humboldt Stiftung (1993 & 1997-1998), the National Endowment for the Humanities (2001-2002), the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study (2013-2014), and the John Simon Guggenheim Foundation (2013).
