F. B. Kaye
Frederick Benjamin Kaye (20 April 1892 – 1930) was an American scholar who was notable for his work on Bernard Mandeville. He was professor of English at Northwestern University from 1918 to 1930.[1]
He was born in New York City as Frederick Benjamin Kugelman to Julius G. Kugelman, a native of Hamburg, Germany who had emigrated to New York. Frederick Kugelman subsequently changed his surname to Kaye.[2][3] He was educated at Yale University, where he obtained a BA in 1914 and an MA in 1916.[3][4]
In 1975 Mandeville Studies claimed that Kaye "almost single-handedly revived Mandeville as one of the most important writers of the eighteenth century".[5]
