Rebellious Writing Contesting Marginalisation in Edwardian Britain

«This bold, brave and genuinely interdisciplinary collection of essays reminds us that social disobedience was not only rife during the Edwardian period, but that it was endlessly, and powerfully, creative. Rebellious writing could be found in some extraordinary places. The value of these so-called 'ordinary' texts cannot be underestimated, as these essays prove again and again.» (Dr Samuel Shaw, Founder of the Edwardian Culture Network and Teaching Fellow in Nineteenth-Century Art, Leicester University)

«The book offers a unique and innovative approach to the everyday literacies of marginalised Edwardians and immerses the reader into their acts of rebellious writing. This comprehensive and compelling collection of work promises to be a key resource for literacy scholars with an interest in identity, conflict and social class and it will serve as an intoxicant for those who remain a rebel at heart.» (Dr Tereza Spilioti, Reader in Language and Communication, Cardiff University)
