 note = {The project I brought to the Institute for the Comparative Studies of Culture at Tokyo Woman’s Christian University in 2016 was the study of shame in comparative perspective, primarily through the medium of literature. My premise is that shame, so often associated with Japan, was also extremely important in early modern English culture. After preliminary discussion of what is meant by “shame” and “guilt”, this article offers an outline of Japanese and British history in the period 1500-1800 and a brief comparison between the two societies. Against this background, a pair of case studies bearing on different facets of honour and shame are considered. One is the famous Akō vendetta of 1701-3, which became celebrated in kabuki and other forms of Japanese popular culture. The other is the less heroic tale of a scandalous liaison between Ford, Lord Grey and Lady Henrietta Berkeley in the 1680s, which was not merely a personal and family drama but linked with major events in British high politics－the Exclusion Crisis (1679-81), the Rye House Plot (1683), and the rebellion of the duke of Monmouth (1685). This story likewise
was the subject of literary representation, principally a three-volume novel by Aphra Behn, Love-Letters between a Nobleman and his Sister (1684-7). Like other works by this author, it provides a rich storehouse of references to shame and guilt that enable their nuances to be explored in depth. Here only a brief preliminary analysis is possible.},
