When three of Britain's best-loved and best-selling authors each
publish over 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 (Waverly and Rob
Roy), Charles Dickens (AÂ 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 individualised 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.
This book creates a taxonomy for the major currently popular and
bestselling fictional genres: romance (Heyer, Cartland, Woodiwiss
and Roberts), religious and inspirational (Corelli and Douglas),
mystery and detective (Conan Doyle, Christie and Mankell), and
science fiction, horror and fantasy (Wells, Tolkien, Orwell, Niven,
King and Rowling, among others). Each of the main chapters looks at
the history of a generic form from its earliest roots to its most
recent works. The structural patterns in the plot, characters and
setting of these genres are then explained. The book also contains
a critique of currently popular hyper-formulaic, hack, unliterary
writings that have multiplied in recent decades under the guise of
generic conventions. There are also sections on special topics such
as the publishing oligopoly and the resulting homogeneity among
bestselling works, and the steady movement from literary to
unliterary fiction.
