The Rebecca Rioter: A Story of Killay Life

Více o knize

Set against the backdrop of the 1830s Welsh riots, the narrative follows Evan Williams, a working-class man driven to rebellion by rising taxes and social inequality. Disguised as a woman, he participates in the destruction of toll gates, but the violence brings dire consequences for him and his beloved. Elizabeth Amy Dillwyn, a pioneering female industrialist and novelist, explores themes of class struggle and societal discontent in this classic tale, now republished with a new biography of the author.
