Ainsworth, William Harrison

Ainsworth, William Harrison (1805–82), published his first novel Rookwood, romanticizing the career of Dick Turpin, in 1824, and followed it in 1839 with Jack Sheppard, exalting the life of another highwayman. These ‘Newgate’ novels were satirized by Thackeray in 1839–40 in Catherine. He edited Bentley's Miscellany (1840–2), Ainsworth's Magazine (1842–53), and finally the New Monthly Magazine. He wrote 39 novels, chiefly historical. They include Guy Fawkes (1841), Old St Paul's (1841), Windsor Castle (1843), and The Lancashire Witches (1848).
