Theodora, A Novel by Dorothea Du Bois, published in 1770, is an
entertaining and frequently shocking tale of a young woman's
efforts to regain her position in high society after her
aristocratic father's abandonment of and denial of marriage to her
mother. The two-volume work is a thinly-veiled fictionalisation of
Du Bois's eventful personal history and the novel represents just
one prong of what was a very public campaign to assert what she
believed was her rightful place among the nobility of Ireland and
Britain. Central to the narrative of Theodora is the powerlessness
of women in the face of a system, moral, social and legal, that was
designed to enshrine and protect patriarchal interests. In this
manner Theodora exposes the gross injustices of eighteenth century
society. This scholarly edition of Du Bois's novel introduces
readers to a unique voice in women's writing of the eighteenth
century that has been undeservedly dismissed by literary history
for far too long.
