Barnaby Rudge Chapter 30

from The Dickens Library · host Charles Dickens

In which the oppressive John Willet ruleth with relentless despotism over his son Joe, exacting submission amidst the company of equally overbearing cronies at the Maypole, until the boiling point of restraint is shattered by a passionate outburst. The chapter captures the tension of strained obedience and the bitter sacrifice of young Joe's spirit, shadowed by the tender thought of Dolly Varden.
