Write something about the writer T S Arthur
Answers
T.S. Arthur (1809-1885), American temperance crusader, editor and author of fiction and non-fiction works such as Ten Nights in a Bar-Room (1854).
Ten Nights was the biggest and most memorable success of Arthur's career, but his efforts and influence as an editor and publisher are no less important. Timothy Shay Arthur was born on 6 June, 1890, the son of William Arthur and Anna née Shay of Orange County, New York, U.S.A. The Arthur’s moved to Baltimore, Maryland around 1817. Arthur was in frail health as a youngster so his mother took on the role of teacher, reading him the Bible stories and telling him many tales of the life of her father, Timothy Shay, an officer in the Revolutionary war.
When later attempts at academic proficiency proved poor on Arthur's part, he embarked on a course of self-education, including an apprenticeship with a Baltimore craftsman, though eye strain caused him to ultimately quit. Around 1833 he served for a few weeks with the Susquehanna Bridge and Banking Company before this venture failed. Around the same time he became involved with the Baltimore Athenaeum and Young Men's Paper as editor. He had found his niche in life. Three years later he started the Baltimore Literary Monument. In 1839 he began editing the Baltimore Merchant. It was during this period that Arthur learned of the Washingtonian Temperance Society and started attending meetings as a journalist, though he soon embraced their vision. The reformed alcoholics' movement gave inspiration for his Six Nights with the Washingtonians: A Series of Original Temperance Tales (1842). Fanny Dale; or, The First Year of Marriage (1843), The Seamstress: A Tale of the Times (1843), and The Tailor's Apprentice: A Story of Cruelty and Oppression (1843) followed.
Arthur was an active participant and quickly adopted the popular movement's Christian stance on the prohibition of alcohol. He soon became a well-known writer on morals, giving instruction, advice, and suggestions of self-help in one's striving towards "honour, success and happiness" as in The Allen House, or Twenty Years Ago and Now (1860). As a reporter he contributed to such journals as Godey's Lady's Book. From 1844 to 1846 Arthur was publisher of and contributor to Arthur's Ladies' Magazine. He was editor and publisher of his monthly Arthur's Home Magazine from 1852 to 1885. (Also called Arthur's Lady's Home Magazine and Arthur's Illustrated Home Magazine). In 1867 Arthur started his juvenile periodical Children's Hour. Two years later he founded the Workingman. In the late 1870's Arthur helped establish the Franklin Home for Inebriates in Philadelphia.
Timothy Shay Arthur (June 6, 1809 – March 6, 1885) — known as T. S. Arthur — was a popular 19th-century American author. He is most famous for his temperance novel Ten Nights in a Bar-Room and What I Saw There (1854), which helped demonize alcohol in the eyes of the American public.
He was also the author of dozens of stories for Godey's Lady's Book, the most popular American monthly magazine in the antebellum era, and he published and edited his own Arthur's Home Magazine, a periodical in the Godey's model, for many years. Virtually forgotten now, Arthur did much to articulate and disseminate the values, beliefs, and habits that defined respectable, decorous middle-class life in antebellum America.
