Autorenporträt
Martin Farquhar Tupper (1810–1889) was an English writer, and poet whose work enjoyed considerable popularity in his own time, specifically during the Victorian period. He was educated at Charterhouse and Christ Church, Oxford, where he began to cultivate his literary talents. His most renowned work, 'Proverbial Philosophy' (1838-1840), a collection of didactic moral and philosophical maxims, achieved great success in England and America and was translated into numerous languages. Besides this widely recognized text, Tupper also authored 'The Crock of Gold,' which, though less known, shares his characteristic style of sentimental didacticism and moralizing narratives. Tupper's literary style is often marked by a straightforward, earnest approach, emphasizing Victorian values of hard work, piety, and social conservatism. Despite his initial popularity, Tupper's work later met with criticism for its perceived superficiality and didacticism, which led to a decline in his literary influence. Nonetheless, his contribution to Victorian literary culture and his influence on the era's middle-class reading public remain noteworthy. His works, including 'The Crock of Gold,' reflect the ethical concerns and tastes of a significant portion of the 19th-century reading audience.
