Illustrations by Hablot K. Browne (Phiz) and George Cattermole,
with a new Introduction by Cedric Watts, Research Professor of
English, University of Sussex. 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.
