This vivid historical & political novel by Dickens is centred on the infamous ' No Popery' riots, instigated by Lord George Gordon, which terrorised London in 1780. Dickens targets are prejudice, intolerance, religious bigotry & nationalistic fervour, together with the villains who exploit these for selfish ends. HIs intense account of the riots is interwoven with the mysterious tale of a long-unsolved murder & with a romance involving forbidden love, treachery & heroism. Barnaby Rudge abounds in memorably strange, comic & grotesque characters. Furthermore, recent historical events have renewed its political topicality. ...

Dickens wrote of David Copperfield: ' Of all my books I like this the best'. Millions of readers in almost every language on earth have subsequently come to share the author's own enthusiasm for this greatly loved classic, possibly because of its autobiographical form. Following the life of David through many sufferings & great adversity, the reader will also find many light-hearted moments in the company of a host of English fiction's greatest stars including Mr Micawber, Traddles, Uriah Heep, Creakle, Betsy Trotwood, & the Peggotty family. Few readers, arriving at the end of David Copperfield, will not wish to echo Thackeray's famous praise, having read the first monthly part
- ' Bravo Dickens'.

Mr Dombey is a man obsessed with his firm. His son is groomed from birth to take his place within it, despite his visionary eccentricity & declining health. But Dombey also has a daughter, whose unfailing love for her father goes unreturned. ' Girls, ' said Mr Dombey, 'have nothing to do with Dombey & Son.' When Walter Gay, a young clerk in her father's office, rescues her from a bewildering experience in the streets of London, his unforgettable friends believe he is well on his way to receiving her hand in marriage & inheriting the company. It is to be a very different type of story. Dombey & Son moved grown men to tears (Thackeray despaired of 'writing against such power as this'), but its rich, comic characters & their joyful explosions of language draw laughter with equally unerring magic. ...

Unusually for Dickens, Hard Times is set, not in London, but in the imaginary mid-Victorian Northern industrial town of Coketown with its blackened factories, downtrodden workers & polluted environment. This is the soulless domain of the strict utilitarian Thomas Gradgrind & the heartless factory owner Josiah Bounderby. However, human joy is not excluded thanks to ' Mr Sleary's Horse-Riding' circus, a gin-soaked & hilarious troupe of open-hearted & affectionate people who act as an antidote to all the drudgery & misery endured by the ordinary citizens of Coketown. Macaulay attacked Hard Times for its 'sullen socialism', but 20th century critic such as George Bernard Shaw & F.R. Leavis have praised this book in the highest terms, while readers the world over have found inspiration & enjoyment from what is both Dickens' shortest completed novel & also one of his important statements on Victorian society. ...

Little Dorritt is a classic tale of imprisonment, both literal & metaphorical, while Dickens' working title for the novel, Nobody's Fault, highlights its concern with personal responsibility in private & public life. Dickens' childhood experiences inform the vivid scenes in Marshalsea debtor's prison, while his adult perceptions of governmental failures shape his satirical picture of the Circumlocution Office. The novel's range of characters
- the honest, the crooked, the selfish & the self-denying
- offers a portrait of a society about whose values Dickens had profound doubts. Little Dorrit is indisputably one of Dickens' finest works, written at the height of his powers. George Bernard Shaw called it 'a masterpiece among masterpieces', a verdict shared by the novel's many admirers.
