About the author

Edmund Campion (born 1933 in Sydney) is an Australian Catholic priest and historian.

Educated at Saint Ignatius' College, Riverview, and the University of Sydney, he completed a Master of Arts at the University of Cambridge and theological studies at the Catholic Institute of Sydney. He was ordained a priest in 1961 and after curacies at several Sydney parishes including St Mary's Cathedral was appointed a lecturer in history at the Catholic Institute of Sydney, later becoming Professor of History there.

His books on Australian Catholic History combine a personal point of view with discussions of the wider social context and the impact of Australian Catholics in many fields.

Campion was Chairman of the Judging Panel for the inaugural Pascall Prize for Australian Critic of the Year in 1988. He was awarded an honorary doctorate of letters by the University of Sydney in 2005.
