René Taupin

René Taupin

René Taupin (1905 - 13 February 1981) was a French translator, critic, and academic. In 1954 he was appointed chairman of the Department of Romance Languages at Hunter College. He had moved to the United States in the 1920s. He corresponded with Ezra Pound, and was an associate of Louis Zukofsky with whom he planned to publish a periodical "La France en liberté," however these plans never came to fruition. ["The Correspondence of William Carlos Williams & Louis Zukofsky", ISBN 0-819-56490-7, page 273] After his retirement he returned to Paris where he spent the last 13 years of his life.

Indiana University's Lilly Library Manuscript Collections has copies of letters to Taupin witten by the poet Louis Zukofsky. Taupin was living in New York during that time. []
