Barnaby Rudge

1800 د.ج

Charles Dickens

This vivid historical and political novel by Dickens is

centred on the infamous `No Popery` riots, instigated by

Lord George Gordon, which terrorised London

in 1780. Dickens` targets are prejudice, intolerance, religious

bigotry and nationalistic fervour, together with the

villains who exploit these for selfish ends.

His intense account of the riots is interwoven with the

mysterious tale of a long-unsolved murder and with a

romance involving forbidden love, treachery and heroism.

Barnaby Rudge abounds in memorably strange, comic

and grotesque characters. Furthermore, recent historical

events have renewed its political topicality.
