Dickens and Barnaby Rudge: Anti-Catholicism and Chartism by Denis Paz ('67, '69 M.A.), professor of history (Merlin Press).

The author re-evaluates Dickens' novel Barnaby Rudge, providing the first extended treatment of Dickens' views of Chartism, a working-class movement for political and social reform. Drawing on correspondence and Victorian periodicals, Paz sets Dickens' writing of the novel in the context of the rise of the Chartist movement, as well as in the contexts of Dickens' personal life and the rise of organized anti-Catholicism.

Topics include memories of African Americans and Tejanos, and the fallacy of historical accuracy in the making of the 2004 movie The Alamo. Contributors in addition to Turner and former UNT faculty member Cantrell include Randolph Campbell, UNT Regents Professor of history, and Don Graham ('62, '64 M.A.), Regents Professor at the University of Texas at Austin.
