description: Dickens' caricature has an eerie familiarity to it
draft: false

I have recently finished reading Charles Dickens' 1841 novel, [*Barnaby Rudge*](https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/1406753882/ref=ox_sc_saved_image_1?smid=A7HRAOBUR41BJ&psc=1). It is a novel of both romantic and political drama set in the period leading up to the famous London [Gordon Riots of 1780](https://archives.blog.parliament.uk/2021/06/04/when-london-went-crazy-the-1780-gordon-riots/). To offer a basic sketch of the story, it follows the lives of four families: the Haredales, the Willets, the Vardens, and the Rudges, between the years of 1775 and 1780, culminating in the riots of June, 1780. The drama essentially boils down to the tension between the personal affections that individuals in these families have for each other, and the rising hostilities and suspicions of their differing religions.
