Ruth von Bernuth is assistant Professor of early modern German studies at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Her dissertation focused on ideas of natural folly in medieval and early modern German literature (Wunder, Spott und Prophetie. Natürliche Narrheit in den Historien von Claus Narren (2008)). She is currently researching the relationship between texts in Old Yiddish and the German literature of the early modern period.
