Abstract

Orestes A. Brownson was born on 16 September 1803 in Stockbridge, Vermont. He was a prolific writer, well known in his early life for adopting versatile religious opinions. In 1840 he published two articles in his own journal, the Boston Quarterly Review, which sparked a controversy that may have played a role in the Presidential election of that year. The July issue carried his ‘The Laboring Classes’ and the October issue a much longer article with the same title which later became known as ‘Brownson’s Defence of the Article on the Laboring Classes’. Perhaps because of all the commotion they stirred, the articles have not been included in his collected works, edited in 20 volumes by his son Henry. After his conversion to Catholicism in 1844, Brownson published many works typified by religious and political conservatism. He died in Detroit, Michigan on 17 April 1876.
