Catherine Furze is a novel written by Mark Rutherford, originally published in 1893. The story follows the life of Catherine Furze, a young woman living in rural England during the late 19th century. Catherine is a strong-willed and independent woman who refuses to conform to the societal expectations placed upon her. She is determined to make her own way in the world and pursue her passions, despite the obstacles she faces.Throughout the novel, Catherine experiences a variety of challenges and setbacks, including poverty, illness, and heartbreak. Despite these difficulties, she remains steadfast in her resolve to live life on her own terms. Along the way, Catherine forms close relationships with several other characters, including her childhood sweetheart, George, and a wealthy businessman named Mr. Warricombe.Catherine Furze is a compelling and thought-provoking novel that explores themes of love, independence, and social class. It is a timeless story that continues to resonate with readers today, over a century after its initial publication.""A canting, hypocritical parson, type not uncommon, described over and over again in novels, and thoroughly familiar to theatre-goers."" Such, no doubt, will be the summary verdict passed upon Mr. Cardew. The truth is, however, that he did not cant, and was not a hypocrite. One or two observations here may perhaps be pertinent. The accusation of hypocrisy, if we mean lofty assertion, and occasional and even conspicuous moral failure, may be brought against some of the greatest figures in history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
