Edward Synge

Edward Synge, born in Cork, was an Anglican bishop in the Church of Ireland who was Bishop of Clonfert and Kilmacduagh (1730–32), Bishop of Cloyne (1732–34), Bishop of Ferns and Leighlin (1734–40), and Bishop of Elphin (1740–62). He was educated at Trinity College, Dublin, obtaining a Master of Arts degree in 1712, and a Doctorate of Divinity in 1728. His father was Edward Synge, Archbishop of Tuam; his grandfather was Edward Synge, Bishop of Cork, Cloyne and Ross; and his brother was Nicholas Synge, Bishop of Killaloe.

Synge's musical ability made a strong impression on Handel when the composer was in Dublin; Handel referred to Synge as 'a Nobleman very learned in Musick.' Synge is particularly well known for his 221 letters to his daughter, Alicia, the only survivor out of the six children of the Bishop and his wife, Jane Curtis. These letters provide valuable insight into domestic life and the lives of servants, and the bequest of these letters to Trinity College Library, University of Dublin, has revolutionised eighteenth-century Irish social and women's history.
