The Rebecca Rioter by Amy Dillwyn
This novel is based on the true events of an attack on a turnpike during the notorious Rebecca Riots in South Wales during the 19th century, and on written records of a magistrate involved in policing the riot. A markedly different account from other tales of the riots in that the account is told more from the perspective of the young rioters involved rather from that of those condemning them. First published in 1880, this is a new addition to the Honno Classics Series, and includes an introduction from Katie Gramich discussing its importance today.
Amy Dillwyn was a fascinating eccentric women who inherited her father's industrial works in South Wales, yet was also a novelist, often satirising the rigid gender roles in a conventional society. The editor, Katie Gramich, is a tutor in literature at the Open University in the South West has published several books on literature and is joint Editor of the Honno Classics Series.
