Edmund Colledge
Edmund Colledge (14 August 1910 - 16 November 1999) was an English academic, military officer, and Roman Catholic priest. He is chiefly known for his scholarly publications on European medieval literature, and in particular spiritual writers from that era. His 1962 anthology, ''The Medieval Mystics of England'', is still widely used in university courses to this day. Chief among his works is ''A book of showings to the anchoress Julian of Norwich'' (published by the Pontifical Institute of Mediaeval Studies, Toronto, 1978) which he co-authored with James Walsh.
==Life and career==
Born Eric Colledge in Tynemouth, Northumberland, Colledge graduated with first class honours in English from Liverpool University (LU) in 1932. He later earned an MA from LU in 1935, and also served as an Assistant Lecturer in LU's Department of English Language and Philology from 1937-1939. One of his influential professors at LU was J.W.G. Gratton. In 1932-1933 he pursued further studies in Munich.〔
Colledge was an excellent linguist with mastery of the French, German and Dutch languages. He was recruited by British Intelligence shortly after the outbreak of World War II, and spent the war working on military intelligence for Great Britain. In 1945-1946 he served on the Allied Control Council's committee which oversaw the restoration of German universities in Berlin. He returned to LU in 1946 as a full Lecturer, and was subsequently appointed Senior Lecturer (1952-1961) and Reader (1961-1963). He lectured on medieval literature and the history of the English language. Many of his students have gone on to chair English departments at universities in the United Kingdom and the United States. In addition to teaching, he also directed and acted in productions with the university's Dramatic Society. Through this interest he became friends with the actress Patricia Routledge while she was a Liverpool student. She credits Colledge for persuading her to pursue a professional acting career.〔
In 1963 Colledge resigned from his post at LU in order to join the Order of Saint Augustine at Clare Priory in Suffolk. At this time he assumed the religious name of Brother Edmund. He pursued further religious studies in Rome, after which he was ordained a priest in 1967. In 1968 he became an Assistant Professor at the Pontifical Institute of Mediaeval Studies in Toronto, Canada. He was soon after promoted to full Professor at that institution, remaining there through 1977. He then returned to England to join the teaching staff at Austin Friars St Monica's School in the City of Carlisle. He lived his latter years in Kent and died in Deal, Kent in 1999 at the age of 89.〔
