Barnaby Rudge: A Tale of the Riots of Eighty (commonly known as Barnaby Rudge) is a historical novel by Charles Dickens. Barnaby Rudge (along with The Old Curiosity Shop) was one of two novels that Dickens published in his short-lived weekly serial Master Humphrey's Clock, which lasted from 1840 to 1841.
Barnaby Rudge was the fifth of Dicken's novels to be published; had nothing interfered with his original plan, it would have been his first. Instead of coming out in Master Humphrey's Clock in 1841, it would have appeared in all the traditional dignity of "three compact indiwidual vollumes" at the end of 1836. That, at least, was the agreement with John Macrone, publisher of Sketches by Boz. What interfered was the soaring circulation of The Pickwick Papers. The original agreement was cancelled, transferred to Bentley's Miscellany, along with a change of the work's title, which Dicken's had originally called Gabriel Vardon, the Locksmith of London. Plans to serialize the work in Bently's also broke down. Its publication was postponed again in January 1840 (as a novel, not in portions); the following July it was transferred to publishers Chapman and Hall, until finally achieving serialized publication in the Clock from February to November 1841. This complicated period of incubation is evidence of the tenacity of purpose and the grip of the original idea on the author's imagination; not, as has been suggested, of the grudging performance of a task.
It was Dickens' first attempt at a historical novel, his only other being A Tale of Two Cities. It is one of his less esteemed novels and has rarely been adapted for film or television (the last attempt was a 1960 BBC production; prior to that, a silent film was made in 1915). (Wikipedia)
