Catherine : A Story PDF
by William Makepeace Thackeray
Description
Though he originally set out to depict criminals in as harshly accurate a light as possible, without the sentimentalization that he saw and disdained in Dickens' work, Thackeray's fictionalized account of the life of Catherine Hayes, an eighteenth-century woman who was burned at the stake for the murder of her husband, depicts the titular character in a somewhat more appealing and charming manner than the author intended.
A must-read for fans of rollicking picaresque tales such as Moll Flanders.
