Catherine: A Story (Barnes & Noble Digital Library)

Catherine: A Story first appeared in serial form in Fraser’s magazine published under a pseudonym. The tale of Catherine Hayes, who was burned to death in 1726 for murdering her husband, is Thackeray’s attempt to show the folly of investing criminals with romantic heroism, which was common at the time.
