"This novel, Fanny...it is a declaration of independence: Evelina's and yours."
In 18th century London, the only thing more dangerous than a woman who has ideas is a woman who publishes them. But 29-year-old editor Mr. Lowndes suspects that the brilliant manuscript on his desk was not actually written by a man. A quixotic liberal who supports the American war for independence, Mr. Lowndes is determined to unmask the female genius behind Evelina. But he gets a lot more than he bargained for when he meets Fanny Burney, a 26-year-old socialite with very different ideas about what it means to start a revolution.
Inspired by the true story behind the publication of Jane Austen's favorite novel, The Declaration of Evelina is a propulsive one-act about a woman destined to change the world...and the man who told her she could.
