The Rebecca Riots have often been represented as an uprising of oppressed peasantry against the burden of toll gates. However, David Williams here explores the deeper causes of the movement in the comprehensive study of the period.

Summary

The Rebecca Riots in west Wales began in the summer of 1839. They ceased as suddenly as they had started, and for three and a half years the countryside was undisturbed. Then, in the winter of 1842, they broke out again with greater violence.
