Jacques Crépet
Jacques Crépet (born March 28, 1874 , † March 11, 1952 ) was a French journalist, romance scholar and literary historian.
life and work
Jacques Crépet was the son of Eugène Crépet (1827-1892), who knew Charles Baudelaire personally, bought his estate and published it in 1887 (together with a biography). So the son grew into Baudelaire research and, as a literary journalist, published Baudelaire's collected works for thirty years. In his edition of Fleurs du mal [Paris 1961, p. XXVIII], Antoine Adam calls the life's work of Eugène and Jacques Crépet “admirable”.
Crépet was the father of Jean Ziegler .
