Barnaby Rudge

Barnaby Rudge is a historical novel by English author Charles Dickens, published in 1841. His fifth novel, it is largely set against the backdrop of the anti - Catholic Gordon Riots of 1780. Providing a vivid account of London's descent into anarchy and mob rule, the novel is a gripping story of mystery and suspense. Blending historical realism with gothic melodrama, the plot centres on the relationship between Catholic Emma and Protestant Edward, and on the English capital city's dark underworld - an ever - present theme of Dickens novels. A powerful, absorbing literary classic, and an unmissable read.
