"My Life as an Author" by Martin Farquhar Tupper is an autobiography written in the late 19th century. This work outlines the author’s reflections on his life experiences, focusing on his literary career and the influences that shaped his writing. Tupper, a prolific Victorian writer, analyzes his early life, educational journey, and the numerous travels that inspired his literary endeavors. The opening of the autobiography reveals Tupper's initial reluctance to write about his life, which stems from a desire to avoid self-promotion and the trivialities that often accompany personal narratives. He expresses this sentiment through a sonnet that captures his intention to document his experiences without entering the realm of vanity. Tupper further reflects on his upbringing, describing his childhood in London, his family heritage, and early education, highlighting the impact of his formative years on his literary ambitions. He sets the tone for the narrative by asserting that his true life story is encapsulated within the literature he has created rather than in a traditional autobiography.
