Resonance and Revolt
by Rosanne Rabinowitz
(Eibon Vale Press, £12.50)

RESONANCE and Revolt is a vibrant and exciting anthology of short stories that's hard to classify genre-wise. Best described as a dizzy odyssey through famous and not so famous periods of revolt and insurrection, it draws upon an encyclopaedic array of revolutionaries, some fictional, some non-fictional and some probably somewhere in between.

Detailed research on the part of its author Rosanne Rabinowitz ensures that many of the stories are imbued with a deep sense of history. The text is littered with arresting images culled from the gritty countercultures of the millenarian movements of the Middle Ages right through to the anarcho-punks and squatters of contemporary Brixton.
