Grace Mayer Frank (born Grace Edith Mayer; June 28, 1886 – March 22, 1978) was an American medievalist and lecturer. Frank, along with her spouse, the classicist Tenney Frank, was primarily associated with Bryn Mawr College, first as a graduate student, and later as a Lecturer and Associate Professor of Romance Philosophy and Old French. Beginning in 1919, Frank lived in Baltimore, Maryland, where she would reside for the majority of her life, serving also as a Visiting Professor of Romance Philology at Johns Hopkins University in that city.{{sfn|Baldwin|Dean|Lane|Roach|1979|p=651}}

A specialist in French medieval theatre and poetry, Frank produced numerous critical editions and over 40 scholarly articles in the field.{{sfn|Medieval Academy|n.d.}} Her best-known work was the monograph The Medieval French Drama (1954), a survey of French drama to the 15th century, considered "an authoritative reference work" for the subject.{{sfn|Baldwin|Dean|Lane|Roach|1979|p=652}} Her influence on her field was such that a 2005 essay claimed that "it seem[ed] almost impossible to read an article or a book on the subject of medieval French drama without finding a reference to her scholarship."{{sfn|Nelson-Campbell|2005|p=280}}

Early life

Born June 28, 1886, in New Haven, Connecticut, Grace Edith Mayer, the daughter of Murray C. and Fannie N. Mayer, was raised in Chicago, Illinois.{{Cite news| pages = 17| title = Grace Frank dies at 91; medieval French expert| work = The Baltimore Sun| location = Baltimore, Maryland| accessdate = 2019-08-21| date = 1978-03-29| url = https://www.newspapers.com/clip/35127906/obituary_for_grace_frank_aged_91/}}{{Cite news| pages = 10| title = Mayer| work = Chicago Tribune| location = Chicago, Illinois| accessdate = 2019-08-22| date = 1923-08-30| url = https://www.newspapers.com/clip/35161271/mayer/}} In 1902, she graduated from Drexel Institute, and matriculated to the University of Chicago, where she was a member of Phi Beta Kappa and obtained her Bachelor of Arts degree in December 1906.{{sfn|Nelson-Campbell|2005|p=273}} She married classical scholar Tenney Frank on May 28 of the same year.{{Cite news| pages = 59| title = News of the Society World| work = Chicago Tribune| location = Chicago, Illinois| accessdate = 2019-08-22| date = 1907-05-19| url = https://www.newspapers.com/clip/35162882/news_of_the_society_world/}} Tenney Frank would soon become an influential academic, author of twelve books and 150 articles, and much of Grace Frank's travel after marriage was determined by the academic postings of her husband.{{sfn|Nelson-Campbell|2005|p=274}}

In 1908, Frank moved with her husband to Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania, where Tenney Frank was a Professor of Latin at Bryn Mawr College until 1919.{{sfn|Nelson-Campbell|2005|p=273}} Her first published work was during this period, an English translation from German of Hermann Sudermann's Roses, four one-act plays in 1909.{{Cite news| pages = 15| title = Roses, Plays| accessdate = 2019-08-21| date = 1909-12-04| url = https://www.newspapers.com/clip/35135811/roses_plays/}} Grace Frank continued her graduate studies at Bryn Mawr, followed by studies at University of Göttingen and University of Berlin in 1910–1911.{{sfn|Baldwin|Dean|Lane|Roach|1979|p=651}}{{sfn|Nelson-Campbell|2005|p=274}}

Academic career

In the mid-1920s, Frank and her husband conducted research in Tunisia, studying Roman ruins near Tunis, Carthage, Medjez-el-Bab, Sfax and Sousse.{{Cite news| pages = 24| title = Describes Terrain In Tunisia Where Armies Are Fighting| work = The Baltimore Sun| location = Baltimore, Maryland| accessdate = 2019-08-21| date = 1943-03-14| url = https://www.newspapers.com/clip/35127891/describes_terrain_in_tunisia_where/}} At this time, the couple had been residing in Rome due to Tenney Frank's appointment as professor in charge at the American Academy in Rome.{{sfn|Nelson-Campbell|2005|p=274}} During her time in Rome, Grace Frank was able to edit a recently discovered French manuscript from the Vatican Library, the {{lang|fr|Passion du Palatinus}}, the critical edition of which she would publish in 1922.{{sfn|Baldwin|Dean|Lane|Roach|1979|p=651}} The text was a 14th-century copy of a play believed to have dated to the 13th or early 14th century.{{sfn|Mueller-Loewald|2003|p=181}} In her introduction, Frank claimed that this manuscript was the "oldest known integral French example of the Passion."{{sfn|Maddox|1981|p=418}} Three years later, she published another critical edition, this time of Rutebeuf's play Le Miracle de Théophile, an edition which became the standard text of the play.{{sfn|Nelson-Campbell|2005|p=276}}

Grace Frank was made a lecturer in Romance philosophy at Bryn Mawr College in 1926.{{sfn|Baldwin|Dean|Lane|Roach|1979|p=651}} However, beginning in 1919, Tenney Frank was made professor of Latin at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, which required the couple to relocate there.{{sfn|Nelson-Campbell|2005|p=274}} As a result, for the next 25 years, Grace Frank commuted weekly from the couple's home in Baltimore to the campus of Bryn Mawr in Pennsylvania.{{sfn|Medieval Academy|n.d.}}

In the 1930s, Frank published another three critical editions of French texts, two of which were Passions. Her edition of {{lang|fr|Le Livre de la Passion, Poème narratif du XIVe siècle}} (1930), analyzed five 15th-century manuscripts based on a 14th-century narrative.{{sfn|Mueller-Loewald|2003|p=181}} Her edition of {{lang|fr|La Passion d'Autun}} (1934) analyzed the relationship between two closely related 13th or early 14th-century poems ({{lang|fr|Passion de Biard}} & {{lang|fr|Passion de Roman}}), distinguished by their copyists.{{sfn|Mueller-Loewald|2003|p=181}}{{sfn|Maddox|1981|p=419}} In 1937, she worked with art historian Dorothy Miner to publish {{lang|fr|Proverbes en rimes}}.

Frank became professor emerita of Old French at Bryn Mawr in 1952. In 1954, she published her principal monograph The Medieval French Drama, which was promoted as "the first history in English of the medieval French drama."{{Cite news| pages = 10| title = The Medieval French Drama| work = The Guardian| location = London, Greater London, England| accessdate = 2019-08-22| date = 1954-07-09| url = https://www.newspapers.com/clip/35164000/the_medieval_french_drama/}} According to a critical bibliography of her work, the book was "warmly received by nearly all reviewers."{{sfn|Maddox|1981|p=419}} Since its release, the work has had a large influence on the field, being described in a 1980 review of Frank's life as "the standard treatment of the subject."{{sfn|Malkiel|1980|p=548}} Frank's final scholarly publication was a review of The Production of Medieval Church Music-Drama in 1972.{{sfn|Maddox|1981|p=430}}
