Book excerpt: Barnaby Rudge was Dickens's fifth novel, and was published in 1841. The plot is extremely intricate. Barnaby is a poor half-witted lad, living in London toward the close of the eighteenth century, with his mother and his raven Grip. His father had been the steward of a country gentleman named Haredale, who was found murdered in his bed, while both his steward and his gardener had disappeared. The body of the steward, recognizable only by the clothes, is presently found in a pond. Barnaby is born the day after the double murder. Affectionate and usually docile, credulous and full of fantastic imaginings, a simpleton but faithful, he grows up to be liked and trusted. His mother having fled to London to escape a mysterious blackmailer, he becomes involved in the famous "No Popery" riots of Lord George Gordon in 1780, and is within an ace of perishing on the scaffold. The blackmailer, Mr. Haredale the brother and Emma the daughter of the murdered man, Emma's lover Edward Chester, and his father, are the chief figures of the nominal plot; but the real interest is not with them but with the side characters and the episodes. Some of the most whimsical and amusing of Dickens's character-studies appear in the pages of the novel; while the whole episode of the gathering and march of the mob, and the storming of Newgate, is surpassed in dramatic intensity by no passage in modern fiction, unless it is by Dickens's own treatment of the French Revolution in the 'Tale of Two Cities.'

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nowadays, Chigwell is a suburb of East London perched on the end of the colorful London Underground map. Back in the eighteenth century, it was a rather small village, complete with village traditions and ways. In 1775, there is a gathering around the fire at the Maypole Inn, presided over by the inn's proprietor, John Willet. He is sitting with three friends, one of whom, Solomon Daisy, is telling a well-worn tale about the murder of Reuben Haredale to a stranger, because it is the twenty second anniversary of the murder. Reuben had been the owner of a local estate called The Warren, and now his brother Goeffrey lives there with Reuben's daughter Emma. It was assumed that the gardener and the steward had killed Reuben because they disappeared after the murder, but when the steward's body was found process of elimination dictated that the gardener was the killer. John Willet squabbles frequently with his son, Joe, because at twenty years old Joe feels that his father should treat him as an equal, rather than as a child. Joe decides to leave the inn and join the army.Emma Haredale has an admirer; Edward Chester is in love with her, and their uncles are enemies so both men disapprove of any relationship between them - finally something they agree on. Sir John Chester, Edward's father, lies to Geoffrey and tells him that Edward has dishonorable intentions toward his niece, because he wants him to marry a young heiress instead so that he can support John and pay his debts for him. Edward is furious and leaves to go to the West Indies. Against this background of skullduggery and manipulation walks Barnaby Rudge. He's a simple man whose mother is receiving house calls from a mysterious stranger whom she believes she should try to take care of. However, she starts to find him rather disconcerting and eventually cashes in her annuity and leaves the city with Barnaby hoping that the stranger will not follow.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Cambridge Companion to Charles Dickens contains fourteen specially-commissioned chapters by leading international scholars, who together provide diverse but complementary approaches to the full span of Dickens's work, with particular focus on his major fiction. The essays cover the whole range of Dickens's writing, from Sketches by Boz through The Mystery of Edwin Drood. Separate chapters address important thematic topics: childhood, the city, and domestic ideology. Others consider formal features of the novels, including their serial publication and Dickens's distinctive use of language. Three final chapters examine Dickens in relation to work in other media: illustration, theatre, and film. Each essay provides guidance to further reading. The volume as a whole offers a valuable introduction to Dickens for students and general readers, as well as fresh insights, informed by recent critical theory, that will be of interest to scholars and teachers of the novels.

Book Synopsis The Annotated a Tale of Two Cities by : Susanne Alleyn
Download or read book The Annotated a Tale of Two Cities written by Susanne Alleyn and published by . This book was released on 2016-07-21 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: *This book was previously released under the title "A Tale of Two Cities: A Reader's Companion."* You've read "A Tale of Two Cities"-perhaps more than once. But what are gaols, bumpers, tocsins, farmer-generals, and the Court of King's Bench? Where are Shooter's Hill, Temple Bar, and La Force, and who on earth was Mrs. Southcott? And did all those starving French people have baguettes in mind when they wanted bread? "The Annotated A Tale of Two Cities" is not a literary analysis of Dickens's novel, but a source of information for the new reader, the longterm fan, and the student, about things, people, places, and events mentioned in the text. In 780 notes to the unabridged novel, historical author and independent scholar Susanne Alleyn explains Dickens's references to things and places familiar to 19th-century Londoners, illustrates his many literary allusions and Victorian expressions, and provides an in-depth, factual background to his gripping but often misleading depiction of the French Revolution-a period that owes much of its distorted image today to the popularity of "A Tale of Two Cities" itself.
