Résumé

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'.

Auteur

Charles Dickens (auteur)

Charles Dickens was an English novelist and social critic known for creating iconic fictional characters. He is considered one of the greatest Victorian-era novelists. His works, such as "A Christmas Carol," "Oliver Twist," and "Great Expectations," are frequently adapted and evoke images of early Victorian London. Dickens drew inspiration from his own experiences, including his father's imprisonment for debt. He began his career as a journalist and writer in his early twenties, and his unique style and humor quickly gained him fame. Dickens was also known for his philanthropy and advocacy for social issues. He made a trip to the United States and Canada in 1842 and expressed his condemnation of slavery. Dickens's novels often depicted the struggles of the poor and disadvantaged, challenging societal norms and advocating for change. Despite some criticism of his sentimentality, Dickens's popularity remained strong, and he is regarded as one of the greatest British novelists. He left a lasting legacy, with museums and festivals dedicated to his life and works.
