Hide Profile

Richard Chenevix Trench was a poet, philologist, and Anglican minister. Born in Dublin, he graduated from Trinity College and held a series of religious and academic positions, culminating in his 1864 appointment as Archbishop of Dublin. His poetry, in the spirit of Wordsworth and Tennyson, was popular, and he distinguished himself as a philologist with several influential works, notably his 1857 paper, On some Deficiencies in our English Dictionaries, which helped inspire the project to create the Oxford English Dictionary. A controversial choice as Archbishop of Dublin, he served with diginity, humility, and flexibility during a time of great religious unrest in Ireland, and his retirement from the post in 1884 was widely lamented.
