  • Barnaby Rudge by Charles Dickens is a historical novel set during the anti-Catholic Gordon Riots of 1780. It follows Barnaby, an innocent and simple-minded young man, who is unwittingly drawn into the chaos. His mother, striving to protect him, hides dark secrets about his father’s murder. Meanwhile, two love stories unfold—one hindered by class differences, another by parental disapproval.
