Abstract

Radical journalist James O'Brien was born in County Longford, Ireland and educated at a progressive school in Lovell Edgeworth and Trinity College, Dublin. After studying law at King's Inns, he removed to England where he was soon drawn into the world of politics. He joined the Radical Reform Association and met the leading radicals of the day, Henry Hunt and William Cobbett. Under the pseudonym Bronterre, he began contributing articles to the Poor Man's Guardian, a popular radical newspaper edited by Henry Hetherington.
