Burke, Edmund

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Chapter

Abstract

Edmund Burke (1729/1730–1797) was an Irish intellectual and politician originally from Dublin. His mother, Mary, was a Catholic; his father, Richard, was a Protestant and a Dublin lawyer. In 1741, Edmund began attending a school for Quakers run by Abraham Shackleton. In 1744, he entered Trinity College, Dublin, and studied there until 1748. In 1750, he left for England to study law at the Middle Temple in London. Few records of him as a student survive, but at Trinity, he edited and contributed to the Reformer, with his fellow students. In this periodical, his interest in contemporary Irish society and politics can be traced.
