Biography
Originally from Zwickau, Germany, I came to the United States to obtain a Ph.D. degree. My research interests include medieval and early modern German and Yiddish literature and cultural transfers within a German-Jewish context. I am currently working on a book project concerning monsters in Old Yiddish literature.
I have published articles on pre-modern German and Yiddish literature and translations in Arthuriana, Ashkenaz, Daphnis, Euphorion, The German Quarterly, PaRDeS, Speculum, and In Geveb (full text online) as well as the books “The Knight Without Boundaries: Yiddish and German Arthurian Wigalois Adaptations,” published by Brill in 2021, and “He Should Have Listened to His Wife: The Construction of Women’s Roles in German and Yiddish Pre-modern Wigalois Adaptations,” published by De Gruyter in 2020.
My recent publications include German Quarterly 96.2 (2023): “Premodern German Studies,” guest co-edited with CJ Jones; and Medieval and Early Modern Jewish Romance (Arc Humanities Press, 2023), co-edited with Caroline Gruenbaum.
