Bernhard von Beskow was a Swedish dramatist, born in Stockholm and in 1814 entered the civil service which are government composed careers.
Bernhard von Beskow (19 April 1796 in Stockholm  17 October 1868) was a Swedish dramatist and historian. Born in Stockholm and the son of a merchant, his vocation for literature was assisted by his tutor, the poet Johan Magnus Stjernstolpe (17771831), whose works he edited. He entered the civil service in 1814, was ennobled in 1826 and received the title of baron in 1843. The civil service is a collective term for a sector of government composed mainly of career administrators hired on professional merit rather than appointed or elected, whose institutional tenure typically survives transitions of political leadership.
