William Makepeace Thackeray (1811-1863) was famous for his
satirical novels, particularly Vanity Fair, a panoramic portrait of
English society of the 19th century. This volume contains the last
part of the Fitz-boodle Papers which tells the story of a bachelor
clubman's amorous misadventures, and Catherine, Thackeray's attempt
to counteract Charles Dickens' portraits of loveable criminals. In
his first full-length work, Thackeray chose a real life criminal
whom he could portray in as unflattering terms as possible,
Catherine Hayes who was burned at the stake for murdering her
husband in 1726. However, he developed a "sneaking kindness" for
Catherine and made her and her criminal companions seem appealing.
