About the Author:
From Library Journal:
Scotch Verdict is the factual account of the story dramatized in Lillian Hellman's fine 1934 play, The Children's Hour . In actuality, the episode in which a student accused two schoolmistresses of participating in a lesbian relationship took place in Edinburgh, Scotland in 1811. After their reputations and careers were ruined, the two brought a libel suit against their accuser. According to LJ 's reviewer, Federman "abstracted, rearranged, and enriched the case transcript to create a book that reads like a novel yet breathtakingly demonstrates how preconceptions color interpretation and how impossible it is to find 'the truth' " ( LJ 6/15/83). A solid addition to any feminist/women's studies collection.
