  • Sins of our mothers [videorecording]: the story of Emeline [Media F29.F4 S56 1988] - "Presents the true story of Emeline Gurney, on which Judith Rossner’s novel Emmeline is based. At 13, Emeline was sent by her parents from Fayette, Maine to live and work in the mills at Lowell, Mass. Within a year she had been seduced, given birth to an illegitimate son, given him to strangers and returned to her parents’ home in Maine. Many years later she marries a man from Massachusetts, who is later revealed to be her illegimate son. Using town and church records and interviews with townspeople who knew her, the program reveals attitudes about community, morality and social conditions in 19th century New England."
