Description

Charles Dickens's Barnaby Rudge is a vivid portrait of London in turmoil. Set against the backdrop of the Gordon Riots of 1780, this novel weaves together mystery, suspense, and historical realism to create a powerful and disturbing tale. A double murder sets off a chain of events that exposes the darker side of London's society, where fathers and sons are opposed, apprentices plot against their masters, and Protestants clash with Catholics on the streets. As the city erupts into chaos, Barnaby Rudge himself struggles to escape the curse of his own past. This edition features all the original illustrations by 'Phiz' and George Cattermole, reproduced from the one-volume publication of 2003. The book includes a map of London at the time of the Gordon Riots and the preface to the 1868 edition in its appendices.
