Autorenporträt
Martin Farquhar Tupper (1810–1889) was an English writer and poet, best known for his didactic moralizing and for a unique prose style that captivated the Victorian era. Tupper graduated from Christ Church, Oxford, where he carved a distinct niche for himself, fusing his scholarly pursuits with poetic aspirations. He achieved significant attention with 'Proverbial Philosophy' (1838), a collection of poetic essays that reflected on life's moral and spiritual aspects, resonating with contemporary audiences and establishing him as a popular writer of the time. This success encouraged Tupper to produce more literary work. In his book 'Probabilities: An Aid to Faith' (1869), Tupper delves into theological and philosophical discourse, aiming to justify faith through the lens of probability, an innovative approach that blended the emerging quantitative perspectives of the age with enduring questions of faith and belief. Tupper's literary style is characterized by its didactic approach, aiming to instruct and improve the reader through poetry and prose alike. While Tupper's fame declined after his death, his work remains a testament to the religious and ethical currents of the nineteenth century, providing a window into the cultural and intellectual milieu of the Victorian age.
