Anne Plumptre

Anne Plumptre (1760–1818) was an English writer and translator.

She was born in Norwich. She and her sister, Annabella [Bell] Plumptre (1769–1838), became active in the Enfield circle, a local group of literati. Later she became involved in politics during the period of the French Revolution. She published her own fiction, travel writing and political enquiry, as well as many translations of letters, travel writing, drama, and other genres. She died in Norwich at the age of 58 after a "productive and for the most part successful literary career" (Shaffer).
