Autoren-Porträt von T. S. Arthur
Timothy Shay Arthur, commonly known as T. S. Arthur, was an American author and publisher of the 19th century, vastly acclaimed for his didactic tales focused on bolstering the moral and social fiber of his readers. Born on June 6, 1809, in Newburgh, New York, Arthur's literary career spanned over five decades, during which he penned numerous short stories, essays, and novels. Arguably his most celebrated work, 'Ten Nights in a Bar-Room and What I Saw There,' published in 1854, unflinchingly explored the perils of alcoholism and became a staple of the temperance movement. However, Arthur's scope extended well beyond temperance literature; his writings encapsulated the ethos of middle-class America, grappling with contemporary issues of ethics, domesticity, and societal norms. His 1859 publication 'Trials and Confessions of a Housekeeper' offers vignettes of domestic life and the tribulations faced by those managing a household. Arthur's adept storytelling, characterized by empathetic moral charades and characters engrossed in ethical quagmires, mirrored in his literary style, as he utilized prose to engage readers in the discourse on virtue and personal conduct. As a reflection of American sentimental literature, T. S. Arthur's work remains a touchstone for those investigating the social mores and reformist attitudes of the 1800s (Derby, 1895; Goldberg, 2010).
