Dickens' targets are prejudice, intolerance, religious bigotry and nationalistic fervour, together with the villains who exploit these for selfish ends.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHis intense account of the riots is interwoven with the mysterious tale of a long-unsolved murder and with a romance involving forbidden love, treachery and heroism. Barnaby Rudge abounds in memorably strange, comic and grotesque characters. Furthermore, recent historical events have renewed its political topicality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wordsworth Editions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/05\/1998\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781853267390\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 672\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.70h x 5.00w x 1.50d","brand":"Charles Dickens","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44273739038901,"sku":"9781853267390","price":8.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_c74c6453-0c9c-406c-a643-17be5c42a10a.jpg?v=1718082282","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/barnaby-rudge-9781853267390","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
