| Publisher Description: Catherine is a vigorous satire on the Newgate novel, a genre fashionable in the early Victorian period. It is here printed with Cox's Diary, a brief satire on the equally voguish and improbable rags-to-riches stories that also attracted great popular following for a while. |
