This research paper deals with Rebecca West’s The Birds Fall Down (1966). For its theoretical association, we have applied Stephen Greenblatt’s theory of New Historicism (1980-1990). The main aim of this dissertation is to analyze West’ s portrayal of the Russian Revolution of 1917 by relying it to the most relevant ideas of New Historicism, like power. To achieve our purpose, we borrowed from New Historicism Stephen Greenblatt’s concepts. Our work is divided into two major chapters , the first one explores the Contextualizing of the Narrative: Historical influences on Rebecca West’s The Birds Fall Down (1966). In this chapter we interested to show how historical events are closely connected to story and how the novel reflects the broader political and social unrest of the time. The second chapter exposes the concept of political activism and Revolutionary Commitment shading light to how it is exercised by Women’s Involvement to the Russian Revolution through Rebecca West’s The Birds Fall Down (1966). Finally, we have come to the conclusion that demonstrate the important influence of historical events on human culture, feminist concern in society, and individual lives.
