Edward Hayes Plumptre (1821-1891) was a distinguished English divine and scholar, born in London. He was Dean of Wells. As a divine he wrote commentaries on books of both the Old and New Testaments, and as a scholar executed able translations in verse of Sophocles, Aeschylus, and the "Commedia" of Dante, the last perhaps his greatest and most enduring work.
