Autorenporträt
Martin Farquhar Tupper (1810–1889) was an English writer, remembered largely for his contribution to Victorian literature through his didactic moralizing and prolific output. Born in London to a professional family, Tupper was initially trained in law before turning to literature as his primary vocation. His literary career was marked by the publication of 'Proverbial Philosophy' (1838), a series of essays in poetic form which offered axioms and advice on life and attracted considerable attention during the Victorian era, especially in the United States. While subsequent critical reception has been less kind to Tupper's work, considering it overly sentimental and didactic, his impact on 19th-century popular literature was significant. 'The Complete Prose Works of Martin Farquhar Tupper' is a testament to his extensive writing career, encompassing not just proverbial philosophy, but also novels, essays, and philosophical discourses. Tupper's literary style is characterized by a moralistic tone, often employing allegory and aphoristic sentences designed to educate and improve the reader. He was prolific in his writings and advocacy for causes he believed in, such as the Temperance movement. Despite a decline in his popularity after his death, Tupper's work provides valuable insight into Victorian culture and its societal values.
