Summary "Barnabé Rudge, Tome II" by Charles Dickens is a historical novel written in the early 19th century. This work delves into the tumultuous events surrounding the Gordon Riots in London, focusing on themes of social unrest and class struggle. The narrative prominently features Barnabé Rudge, a character navigating the complexities of his environment amid oppressive societal tensions and personal struggles. The opening of the text sets a vivid scene, depicting a locksmith consumed by uncertainty and anxiety as he observes the home of Mr. Haredale, a man embroiled in mysterious activities that signify deeper conflicts. The narrative introduces various characters like Mr. Haredale and the secretive Mr. Gashford, as well as the rising political turmoil around them marked by cries of “No Popery!” amidst the backdrop of an increasingly fractious society. The tension escalates, foreshadowing violent confrontations and highlighting the stark differences between various social classes. This establishes the groundwork for a plot rich with intrigue and conflict, drawing readers into a world where personal passions collide with broader historical events.
