Overview

Originally published as a serial in Master Humphrey's Clock between 1840-1841, Dickens historical novel Barnaby Rudge: A Tale of the Riots of Eighty is mainly set during the Gordon Riots of 1780, several days of rioting in Great Britain sparked by anti-Catholic sentiment. Highly recommended for fans of historical fiction and the much-loved work of Charles Dickens. This classic work is being republished now in a new edition complete with an introductory chapter from Appreciations and Criticisms of the Works of Charles Dickens by G. K. Chesterton. Charles John Huffam Dickens (1812-1870) was an English writer and social critic famous for having created some of the world's most well-known fictional characters. His works became unprecedentedly popular during his life, and today he is commonly regarded as the greatest Victorian-era novelist. Although perhaps better known for such works as Great Expectations or A Christmas Carol , Dickens first gained success with the 1836 serial publication of The Pickwick Papers , which turned him almost overnight into an international literary celebrity thanks to his humour, satire, and astute observations concerning society and character.
