Set against the backdrop of the Gordon Riots of 1780, this historical novel explores themes of social unrest and anti-Catholic sentiment in Great Britain. Originally serialized in Master Humphrey's Clock, it features the character Barnaby Rudge, whose life intertwines with the chaos of the riots. The new edition includes an introductory chapter from G. K. Chesterton's Appreciations and Criticisms of the Works of Charles Dickens, making it a valuable read for fans of Dickens and historical fiction alike.
