'''''Barnaby Rudge: The Tale of the Riots of 'Eighty''''' occurs as historical novel by the author Charles Dickens. A plot is according to a "no-popery" or even Gordon riots of 1780 seen through the eyes of the simple however skillful-benevolent title character. A rabid anti-Catholic Lord George Gordon is treated sustaining the bit of sympathy in the novel, which concludes with a bird's-eye description of the riots, which lasted many times.

Barnaby Rudge (along sustaining The Old Curiosity Shop) was one of two novels which Dickens published around his short-transitory each week serial ''Master Humphrey's Clock, which lasted from 1840 to 1841, when Barnaby Rudge'' was published. It was Dickens' number 1 attempt at the historical novel, his simply more existence A Tale of Two Cities.

the title character is accompanied throughout by a talking raven whose vocalizations, though seemingly random, come unremarkably comments on the action. These are said that Edgar Allan Poe was inspired by Barnaby Rudge in writing The Raven.
