Gore was nothing but a novelist of “high life.” True, she liked to give her characters titles of nobility; and that was exactly the feature in her work which would attract Thackeray’s notice.
Gore came nearest to being a novelist of the first rank.
The chief character in this tale of landed gentry in Yorkshire is a woman of heroic and domineering temper, whose rather weak-willed son has married the pretty daughter of a vulgar betting-man. Broad contrasts, like that between Mrs.

 Érudit | RON n34-35 2004 : Copeland : Opera and the Great Reform Act: Silver Fork Fiction, 1822-1842   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Gore’s main point is to condemn aristocratic economic irresponsibility, using the price of the opera box as her example, and to validate simultaneously traditional middleclass virtues of good business sense, payment of debts, and financial probity as good for the aristocracy as well.
Catherine Gore’s final silver fork novels of the late 1830s (not her last fiction, by any means) measure the declining power of opera or the opera house to represent great public issues, and in particular the Whig ideology of reform.
Catherine Gore’s last silver fork novel and her best, Cecil: or, The Adventures of a Coxcomb (1841), is her valedictory to opera and to The King’s Theatre as a significant source of imagery for social and political issues.

In 1823 she married Captain Charles Arthur Gore and in the same year published The Broken Hearts, a verse story, which was followed in 1824 by her first novel, Theresa Marchment, of The Maid of Honour.
Gore's novels have consequently been compared to Jane Austen's novels and her later imitators such as Susan Ferrier as well as to the various writers of silver-fork novels that proliferated in the early Victorian age such as Bulwer-Lytton and Mrs Trollope.
When she fell victim to a bank scandal in 1855 she reissued her 1843 novel about a corrupt banker, The Banker's Wife, or Court and City, which testifies to her resourcefulness as well as to her relentless exposure of hypocrisy, for which she was often censured at the time.

The writers discussed range from Catherine Gore and Anna Jameson at the beginning of the period, through Dinah Mulock Craik, Charlotte Yonge and Mary Braddon to Florence Marryat, Edith Stewart Drewry and Charlotte Riddell in the early 1880s.
Catherine Gore (1799‑1861) was best known as the witty and prolific author of ‘silver fork’ novels in which she satirised the fashionable world of nineteenth-century England.
A closer examination of the fashionable fiction of Bulwer, Disraeli, and Gore challenges the familiar constructions of the silver fork novel and suggests two distinct genres: the dandy novel and the society novel, or, respectively, the male and female fashionable novels.

The first episode is primarily devoted to Diane (Josephine Byrnes), as she decides to cancel her upcoming marriage and instead enter the convent of Santo Spirito in 1962 Sydney.
Sister Catherine has severe problems with the medieval attitudes of the Church, especially in the form of Anselm and Aquinas, but her brand of independent thought is becoming more welcome under the new Vatican II rulings.
Although Sister Catherine is more than critical of the Church and its hidebound nature, the miniseries nonetheless takes a sympathetic look to all of the women of the convent, regardless of their attitudes.

 Byronic Figures in the Silver-Fork Romance   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
atherine Gore's best-known novel, Cecil, or Adventures of a Coxcomb (1841), purports to be the autobiography of a companion of Lord Byron.
Gore's most successful novel shares this preoccupation with the rewriting of an attractively repulsive Byronic figure with Edward Bulwer-Lytton's Pelham; or The Adventures of a Gentleman (1828), which can be seen as having established the silver-fork formula and also Benjamin Disraeli’s Venetia (1837), which is, like Gore's novel, closely modelled on Byron's life.
Catherine Gore's later silver-fork novels, in fact, map the genre's demise from the mid-century onwards.

 How Loathsome #1
At its root, it's a sweet love-at-first-sight affair, as Catherine is immediately smitten only to end up realising that Chloe's feelings are more superficial - and tied up with her own sense of gender identity.
As well as Catherine's own reactions, we get a more oblique approach to the subject in the form of a six-page minicomic supposedly by Catherine herself, in which she recasts herself as the isolated, romantically miserable protagonist of a goth fairy tale featuring such delights as consumption and bereavement.
While the series itself seems to hold back from fully engaging in Catherine and Chloe's desire to be seen as "other", it still delights in playing up their appearance.

Divided into four short stories rather than a single narrative, each chapter features Catherine Gore, a lanky, androgynous lesbian with a drug habit and a talent for observation and story telling.
They bond over a mutual disillusionment with their peers — lesbians involved in "unbelievably dull left-wing political activities" and the gay male "trend towards gym-cloned pretty boys." The characters of "How Loathsome" are the marginalized of the marginal.
Other chapters show Catherine joined by her friends Nick, the defensively macho user/dealer, and Alex, the cute junkie rent boy, as they shoot up, go to clubs and wrestle with the complications of a world where truth blends with fiction and fantasy with reality.

Several of these self-identified women playwrights are profiled in separate essays, specifically Joanna Baillie, Catherine Grace Moody Gore, Elizabeth Polack, and Elizabeth Planché.
The authority of printed judgment was the domain of men, usually other playwrights who turned to journalism to subsidize their incomes, and their reviews inevitably judged the woman’s social presence as a playwright.
