Barnaby Rudge: A Tale of the Riots of 'Eighty by Charles Dickens

"Barnaby Rudge: A Tale of the Riots of 'Eighty" by Charles Dickens is a historical novel published in 1841. Set against the backdrop of London's violent Gordon Riots of 1780, the story weaves together forbidden romances, a decades-old murder mystery, and the simple-minded Barnaby Rudge with his pet raven. As anti-Catholic fervor ignites the city, families are torn apart and ordinary people are swept into mob violence. Churches burn, homes are destroyed, and innocent lives hang in the balance in this tale of social upheaval. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
