Autorenporträt

Charles James Fox (24 January 1749 - 13 September 1806) was a notable British Whig statesman whose parliamentary career spanned 38 years in the late 18th and early 19th century. He was called The Honourable from 1762. He was the Tory politician William Pitt the Younger's arch-rival; his father, Henry Fox, 1st Baron Holland, a notable Whig of the time, had been Pitt's famous father, William Pitt, 1st Earl of Chatham ("Pitt the Elder"). Fox rose to fame in the House of Commons as a dynamic and articulate speaker with an infamous and colorful private life, yet with conservative and orthodox views at the time. However, with the advent of the American War of Independence and the influence of Whig Edmund Burke, Fox's views were some of the most extreme to be heard in the British Parliament of his day.
