Barnaby Rudge - Wordsworth Classics
“Time has been lost and opportunity thrown away, but I am yet a young man, and may retrieve it.” Barnaby Rudge, 1841
Barnaby Rudge originally titled 'Barnaby Rudge: A Tale of the Riots of Eighty' is Charles Dickens first historical novel, and is centred on the 'No Popery' riots, instigated by Lord George Gordon, which terrorised London in 1780. Against this background we meet Barnaby Rudge, the intellectually disabled son of a murderer who in a case of mistaken identity, is arrested as a leader of a mob of anti-Catholic rioters
