Overview

Barnaby Rudge (1840) is de tweede historische roman van Dickens en erg geïnspireerd op de romans van Sir Walter Scott. Barnaby Rudge is een goedhartige jongen die ongewild betrokken raakt bij de anti-katholieke opstanden van 1780, de Gordon Riots. Hij wordt ter dood veroordeeld, maar uiteindelijk gered door slotenmaker Gabriel Varden. In beeldend proza beschrijft Dickens de bestorming van de Newgate-gevangenis; diepgaand zijn de beschrijvingen van de complexe relaties en liefdes van zijn kleurrijke personages. Barnaby's huisdier, Grip de Raaf, inspireerde Edgar Allen Poe tot het schrijven van zijn beroemde gedicht 'The Raven'.

About the Author

About The Author
Charles Dickens (1812-1870) is probably the greatest novelist England has ever produced, the author of such famous books as A Christmas Carol, Hard Times, Great Expectations, David Copperfield, and Oliver Twist. His innate comic genius and shrewd depictions of Victorian life — along with his indelible characters — have made his books beloved by readers the world over. Dickens was born in Landport, Portsea, England and died in Kent after suffering a stroke. The second of eight children of a family continually plagued by debt, the young Dickens came to know hunger, privation, and the horrors of the infamous debtors' prison and the evils of child labor. These unfortunate early life experiences helped shape many of his greatest works.
