Robert Hauptman (1941-), literary scholar, poet, and editor.

Collection consists of incoming letters to Hauptman, with one letter from Hauptman to an unidentified recipient. The collection features thirteen folders of approximately 500 pieces of correspondence from Vermont poet, publisher, and bookseller Bob Arnold and one folder of 40 pieces of correspondence from David Giannini. Arnold's correspondence, which dates from 1974 to 2001, consistently discusses literature and publishing, with a particular emphasis on modern American poetry. Giannini's correspondence, which dates from 1977 to 1981, also discusses literary matters, such as book reviewing, and mentions friends and meeting plans. In addition to the correspondence from Arnold and Giannini, there are single and small groups of letters from Noam Chomsky, J. M. Coetzee, Clayton Eshleman, John Kenneth Galbraith, William Herrick, William Heyen, Stephen Spender, and Elie Wiesel, many of which were written to Hauptman in his capacity as a journal editor.
