F. B. Kaye

Frederick Benjamin Kaye (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]

In 1975 Mandeville Studies claimed that Kaye "almost single-handedly revived Mandeville as one of the most important writers of the eighteenth century".[2]
