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 \u003cem\u003eTheodora\u003c\/em\u003e 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 \u003cem\u003eTheodora \u003c\/em\u003eexposes 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lucy Cogan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0367714213\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780367714215\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/23\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.13lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.56d","brand":"Lucy Cogan","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44056022122751,"sku":"9780367714215","price":160.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d9d9f889-d80c-47a9-992b-3693e20c16d4.jpg?v=1685039087","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/theodora-a-novel-dorothea-du-bois-9780367714215","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
