Anaphora Literary Press is excited to promote Dr. Faktorovich's first literary reference text, Rebellion as Genre in the Novels of Scott, Dickens and Stevenson.
Tucson, AZ (OPENPRESS) When three of Britain's best-loved and best-selling authors each publish over two novels with a historical rebellion theme, it is a pattern worth examining. Rebellion as Genre in the Novels of Scott, Dickens and Stevenson is a long-overdue study of the previously overlooked rebellion novel genre, with a close look at the works of Sir Walter Scott (Waverly and Rob Roy), Charles Dickens (A Tale of Two Cities and Barnaby Rudge), and Robert Louis Stevenson (Kidnapped and The Young Chevalier). The linguistic and structural formulas that these novels share are presented, along with a comparative study of how these authors individualized the genre to adjust it to their needs. Scott, Dickens and Stevenson were led to the rebellion genre by direct radical purposes. They used the tools of political literary propaganda to assist the poor, disenfranchised and peripheral people, with whom they identified and hoped to see free from oppression and poverty.

"Faktorovich... examines the rebellion novel genre in nineteenth-century British literature... She analyzes their linguistic and structural formulas, how they used subversive tools to avoid censorship, and how they individualized the genre to suit their needs, in terms of Scott's Scottish nationalism, Dickens' socialist purpose, and Stevenson's radical aims." -- Book News: booknews.com/ref_issues/ref_jun2013
