Unjustly neglected but amply rewarding, this historical drama recaptures the turmoil of the Gordon Riots of 1780. Barnaby Rudge combines elements of an unsolved murder and a forbidden romance to draw its characters into the rebellion, during which an anti-Catholic mob ruled London. The tale of treachery and heroism in the days of terror forms a moving indictment of intolerance, religious bigotry, and fanatical nationalism.
