Myra L. Uhlfelder (1923-2011) was a professor of classics at Bryn Mawr.[1] She is known for her work on classical and Medieval Latin.

Career[edit]

Uhlfelder studied at the University of Cincinnati (A.B. 1945, MA 1946), and completed a PhD at Bryn Mawr in 1952 under the supervision of Berthe Marie Marti.[1][2] Her dissertation was published as 'De proprietate sermonum uel rerum. A Study and Critical Edition of a Set of Verbal Distinctions' in the series Papers and monographs of the American Academy in Rome.[3][4] She taught at Sweet Briar College for 1950-2 and at the State University of Iowa, 1952–63, where she became assistant professor.[1] In 1963, she returned to the department of Latin at Bryn Mawr,[5] where she taught until her retirement in 1991.[6] In her retirement, she continued to work on Boethius, and a book on the subject was published posthumously in 2016.[1][7]

Uhlfelder received the Rome Prize at the American Academy in Rome for the years 1948–50.[8][9] She was a Guggenheim fellow in 1958–9.[10]
