Thomas Sheridan, godson of Swift and father of Richard Brinsley Sheridan, published, in 1756, British Education, a tiresome, long-winded work, stuffed with quotations chiefly from Locke and Milton, in which he called for the standardising of English spelling, pronunciation, diction and idiom, and advocated the study of English rhetoric, the encouragement of public speaking and of the art of reading. He appeared to believe that due attention to these matters would effect the political, religious, moral and aesthetic redemption of society. Yet, in spite of his sympathy with the chief aim of the Académie Française, he would not secure these advantages by means of any academy or society, but trusted to the introduction of rhetoric and elocution into the ordinary school and college course, and, thereafter, to the critical discussion which that introduction would bring about.

Irish-born actor and theatrical manager and father of the dramatist Richard Brinsley Sheridan. While an undergraduate at Trinity College, Dublin, Sheridan wrote a farce, The Brave Irishman, or Captain O'Blunder, and after a successful appearance as Richard III at the Smock Alley Theatre, Dublin, in 1743, determined on an acting career.

Thomas Sheridan. (1719-1788) Irish actor, theatre-manager and a teacher of elocution. Born in Dublin, Ireland, the Son of Rev. Dr. Thomas Sheridan (d. 1738). Father of Charles Francis Sheridan (b. 1750) and Richard Brinsley Sheridan (b. 1751). Married Frances Chamberlaine in 1747. Sheridan's godfather was author Jonathan Swift. Thomas Sheridan was sent to be educated at Westminster School in 1732-3, however, due to his father's financial difficulties he had to return and finish his initial education in Dublin. In 1739 he graduated BA from Trinity College, Dublin, and he probably got an MA from Trinity at some time before 1743. (Note 5) In 1743 he had his debut as an actor, playing the title role in Shakespeare's Richard III at Smock Alley, Dublin. In the next year or two he became immensely popular, and was, at the time, the most popular actor Ireland had ever seen. Also in the 1740s he became manager of the Dublin theatre.



"We are one of the great stocks of Europe. We are the people of Burke; we are the people of Swift, the people of Emmet, the people of Parnell. We have created most of the modern literature of this country. We have created the best of its political intelligence."
W. B. Yeats, speech in the Irish Senate, June 11, 1925
