Description:
(Courtier) John Hervey, 2nd Baron Hervey, was an English courtier and political writer known for his close relationship with Walpole. He was involved in court intrigues and literary disputes, frequently appearing in caricatures by notable figures like Pope and Fielding. His memoirs detailing the early reign of George II were deemed too scandalous for publication in his lifetime and were not released until over a century later. Hervey was active in politics, court affairs, and literary circles during his professional career.
