Autorenporträt
James Bronterre O'Brien was an Irish reformer, journalist, and leading voice in the Chartist movement, born in 1804 near Granard, County Longford. His father, Daniel O'Brien, operated a struggling business before dying in the West Indies. A gifted student, O'Brien was educated at the Lovell Edgeworth School and later at Trinity College, Dublin, where he earned several academic prizes, including the Science Gold Medal. He studied law at King's Inns and moved to London in 1829, intending to become a lawyer. However, his path shifted toward political activism. He joined the Radical Reform Association and became closely involved with key reformists. He wrote for and later edited Henry Hetherington's Poor Man's Guardian, signing articles as "Bronterre," which became his adopted middle name. He championed the need for accessible political information and opposed the stamp duty. Deeply influenced by the writings of Babeuf and Buonarroti, he supported universal suffrage through nonviolent means. He contributed significantly to radical newspapers and was imprisoned for sedition in 1840. After parting ways with Feargus O'Connor, he aligned with the Complete Suffrage Union and continued publishing until 1847. He died in 1864 at age 60.
