Barnaby Rudge, written by Charles Dickens, is a historical novel set during the Gordon Riots of 1780 in London. The novel explores the social and political tensions of the time, including the conflict between Catholics and Protestants, the struggle for workers’ rights, and the power dynamics between the ruling class and the common people.
