- This monograph argues images and practices associated with shame did not recede in modern Britain, as had previously been assumed. It investigates how social and cultural expectations in both war and peace, changing attitudes to sexual identities and sexual behaviour, media innovations and changing representations of reputation, all became sites for shame’s modern reconstruction. This was thoroughly modern and in tune with Britain’s expectations from the late nineteenth century. Using a suite of detailed micro-histories, which contribute to a deep, complex and multi-layered thesis the book examines a wide expanse of modern sites of shame across the British Isles.
