 ''Moths'' (a novel in three volumes, Chatto and Windus 1880) was originally written as a popular novel by Ovida  (Louise Ramé, 1839-1908)[], and deals with such Victorian taboos as adultery, domestic violence, and divorce. The work was the author's fifteenth novel, and possibly her most popular - though savaged by critics. The work saw numerous adaptations to the stage in the Victorian era - many done without her approval.

Another adaptation was by John C. Chute, opening in the Theatre Royal, Croydon, in 28 August of the same year. A third, probably by actress Marion Grace, opened at the Royal Opera House, London, in October. A fourth adaptation, by W.F. Lyon, opened in Peterborough on 12 February 1883 and a fifth, by A.M. Seaton, in the Rotunda, Liverpool on 18 March.
