Cultures of shame: exploring crime and morality in Britain 1600-1900

This book brought together the pre-existing expertise of both scholars, as demonstrated in their previous work. These distinct contributions are evident in chapters by written by David Nash on anti-clerical subjects (Chapter 6), newspaper reporting of shame incidents (Chapter 7) and shame associated with monarchy (Chapter 8), and those written by Anne-Marie Kilday on shaming rituals (Chapter 2), Scottish execution victims (Chapter 3) and shaming dissidents (Chapter 4). There are also three summative chapters bringing together the insights gleaned from the separate work of both scholars and their shared conclusions around shame (Chapters 1, 5 and 9).
