In the late 1830s, high taxes and unwelcomed toll hikes in Wales led to an outbreak of riots as men, often disguised as women, rose up and destroyed toll gates. First published in 1880, âThe Rebecca Rioterâ tells the story of a working class man named Evan Williams who joins the riots due to his dissatisfaction with society and the rift between poor and rich, only to find that the ensuing violence would lead to serious consequences for him and the woman he loved. Elizabeth Amy Dillwyn (1845â"1935) was a businesswoman, social benefactor, and novelist famous for being among Britain's first female industrialists. Other notable works by this author include: âJill and Jackâ (1887), âA Burglary â (1883), and âChloe Arguelleâ (1881). Read & Co. Classics is proudly republishing this classic novel now in a new edition complete with a specially-commissioned new biography of the author.
