{"product_id":"9781476601472","title":"Rebellion as Genre in the Novels of Scott, Dickens and Stevenson","description":"When three of Britain’s best-loved and best-selling authors each publish at least two novels with a historical rebellion theme, there might be an interesting pattern worth examining. This is a long overdue study of the previously overlooked rebellion novel genre, with a close look at the works of Sir Walter Scott (\u003ci\u003eWaverly\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eRob Roy\u003c\/i\u003e), Charles Dickens (\u003ci\u003eA Tale of Two Cities\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eBarnaby Rudge\u003c\/i\u003e), and Robert Louis Stevenson (\u003ci\u003eKidnapped\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Young Chevalier\u003c\/i\u003e). 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 interests. 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.","brand":"McFarland \u0026 Company, Incorporated Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47125311357168,"sku":"9781476601472","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781476601472_p0.jpg?v=1763608003","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781476601472","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
