Henry St. John, Who Became Viscount Bolingbroke In 1712, Was Born On The 1st Of October, 1678, At The Family Manor Of Battersea, Then A Country Village. His Grandfather, Sir Walter St. John, Lived There With His Wife Johanna,--Daughter To Cromwell's Chief Justice, Oliver St. John,--In One Home With The Child's Father, Henry St. John, Who Was Married To The Second Daughter Of Robert Rich, Earl Of Warwick. The Child's Grandfather, A Man Of High Character, Lived To The Age Of Eighty-Seven; And His Father, More A Man Of What Is Miscalled Pleasure, To The Age Of Ninety. It Was Chiefly By His Grandfather And Grandmother That The Education Of Young Henry St. John Was Cared For. Simon Patrick, Afterwards Bishop Of Ely, Was For Some Years A Chaplain In Their Home. By His Grandfather And Grandmother The Child's Religious Education May Have Been Too Formally Cared For. A Passage In Bolingbroke's Letter To Pope Shows That He Was Required As A Child To Read Works Of A Divine Who "Made A Hundred And Nineteen Sermons On The Hundred And Nineteenth Psalm." After Education At Eton And Christchurch, Henry St. John Travelled Abroad, And In The Year 1700 He Married, At The Age Of Twenty-Two, Frances, Daughter And Co-Heiress Of Sir Henry Winchescomb, A Berkshire Baronet. She Had Much Property, And More In Prospect. [more]

Henry St John, 1st Viscount Bolingbroke (/ˈsɪndʒɨn/, /ˈbɒlɪŋbrʊk/ 16 September 1678 – 12 December 1751) was an English politician, government official and political philosopher. He was a leader of the Tories, and supported the Church of England politically despite his antireligious views and opposition to theology.[1][2][3][4][5] In 1715 he supported the Jacobite rebellion of 1715 which sought to overthrow the new king George I. Escaping to France he became foreign minister for the Pretender. He was attainted for treason, but reversed course and was allowed to return to England in 1723. He is best known as the philosopher of the Country Party. [more]

(Man muss wissen, dass J. H. Seine Kurzgeschichten oft in seiner Stammkneipe schrieb. Hinter ihm, ein ihn zur Eile antreibender Redakteur, der den Artikel noch am selben Abend ein-spiegeln wollte, so dass er am Morgen gedruckt werden könne. Um mehr Geld herauszuschinden, bauschte J. H. das Geschriebene ein bisschen auf, beschrieb und erklärte manches ausführlicher, als es hätte sein müssen.) Sein Schreibstil widersprach der damaligen Literaturkonvention, er verwendete die derbe und vulgäre Volkssprache in einem für die damalige Zeit unerhörten Maße. Deshalb wurde er auch von der damaligen Literaturszene ignoriert, die ihn in die Sparte „Gossenliteratur“ einordnete. Hašek selbst brachte seinen Manuskripten ebenfalls wenig Achtung entgegen, meist verzichtete er darauf, sie nach Drucklegung überhaupt zu lesen.Quelle; https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaroslav_Ha%C5%A1ek [more]
