Author: Charles Dickens / Year: 1812-1870 / Genre: Drama The novel is set during the time of the anti-Catholic Gordon Riots of 1780 and, in traditional Dickensian fashion, follows a cast of mismatched characters as they tackle the social, moral, and religious issues of their time. Addressing issues surrounding family structures, the impacts of hatred, and perceptions of intellectual disability, Barnaby Rudge tells the story of what happens when intolerance, corruption, and impulse are put before acceptance, equity, and reason.
