Summary
Dickens' Barnaby Rudge is both an intensely private examination of the relationship between father and son and a grand tale of rebellion in the public arena. Set in the boiling agitation of 1780's London with a cast of truly Dickensian characters, Barnaby Rudge is Dickens' first historical novel, outlining the events of the Gordon Riots.
