Bywgraffiad yr Awdur / Author Biography

Amy Dillwyn (1845-1935) was born in Swansea and was a novelist, feminist, and pioneer industrialist, taking over the family’s failing Spelter Works when her father died and making it into a commercial success. She was considered to be eccentric, with unorthodox and iconoclastic views. The Rebecca Rioter is the first and the most Welsh of her novels, many of which satirise rigid gender roles. This republication includes a critical introduction by Katie Gramich, a scholar of Welsh writing in English who teaches at Cardiff University.

Adolygiad y Cyhoeddwr / Publisher Review

His rebellious actions during a time of 'agrarian discontent' have dramatic consequences, for himself, and the woman he loves. The Rebecca Rioter is the fourth publication in the Welsh Women’s Classics series, an imprint that brings out-of-print books in English by women writers from Wales to a new generation of readers. This edition has a new cover and is published under the Welsh Women's Classics, which replaces the Honno Classics.
