Synopsis

First published in 1880, The Rebecca Rioter is a novel based on the notorious Rebecca Riots in south and west Wales in the early nineteenth century. The story tells the tale of Evan Williams, a young working-class man, struggling to come to terms with the injustice and social inequalities of the world he lives in. His rebellious actions during a time of 'agrarian discontent' have dramatic consequences, not only for himself, but also inadvertently for the woman he loves.

First brought back into print by Honno in 2001 and reprinted several times since.
