Publisher Description
Barnaby Rudge by Charles Dickens is a vivid historical novel set during the 1780 Gordon Riots in London. The story follows Barnaby, a kind-hearted but simple-minded young man, and his loyal raven, Grip, as they become entangled in the chaos of anti-Catholic fervor. Amidst the riots, Dickens weaves tales of love, betrayal, and revenge, focusing on characters like Emma Haredale, Joe Willet, and the vengeful Mr. Chester. The novel explores themes of social injustice, mob mentality, and the clash between tradition and progress. With its richly drawn characters and tense drama, Barnaby Rudge offers a compelling portrayal of a turbulent era, blending action with Dickens’ signature social commentary.

About Charles Dickens
Charles Dickens (1812–1870) was born in Landport, Portsmouth, England, the second of eight children in a family continually plagued by debt. A legacy brought release from the nightmare of debtors’ prison and child labor and afforded him a few years of formal schooling. He worked as an attorney’s clerk and newspaper reporter until his early writings brought him the amazing success that was to be his for the remainder of his life. He was the most popular English novelist of the Victorian era, and he remains popular, responsible for some of English literature’s most iconic characters.
