CATHERINE....A MURDER AND BURNED AT THE STAKE! SUSPENSE AND MYSTERY TOO! 200 PAGES IN PRINT!
• This volume includes a “Detailed Biography” of our author, William Makepeace Thackeray.
The story of Catherine, which appeared in Fraser's Magazine in 1839-40, was written by Mr. Thackeray, under the name of Ikey Solomons, Jun., to counteract the injurious influence of some popular fictions of that day, which made heroes of highwaymen and
burglars, and created a false sympathy for the vicious and criminal.
With this purpose, the author chose for the subject of his story a woman named Catherine Hayes, who was burned at Tyburn, in 1726, for the deliberate murder of her husband, under very revolting circumstances. Mr. Thackeray's aim obviously was to describe the career of this wretched woman and her associates with such fidelity
to truth as to exhibit the danger and folly of investing such persons with heroic and romantic qualities.
