",I dreamed ... I dreamed just now that something - it was in the
shape of a man - followed me - came softly to me - wouldn't let me
be - but was always hiding and crouching, like a cat in dark
corners, waiting till I should pass, when it crept out and came
softly after me ...", Set against the backdrop of the Gordon Riots
of 1780, Charles Dickens's novel&,nbsp,Barnaby
Rudge&,nbsp,is a story of mystery and suspense which begins
with an unsolved double murder and goes on to involve conspiracy,
blackmail, abduction and retribution. Through the course of the
novel fathers and sons become opposed, apprentices plot against
their masters and Protestants clash with Catholics on the streets.
And, as London erupts into riot, Barnaby Rudge himself struggles to
escape the curse of his own past. With its dramatic descriptions of
public violence and private horror, its strange secrets and ghostly
doublings, Barnaby Rudge is a powerful, disturbing blend of
historical realism and Gothic melodrama.
