Shame in Contemporary You-Narration: Q&A with the author

The image shows a sparse, worn room that appears to be a former prison cell. The walls are yellowed and heavily stained, with patches of peeling paint and dark discoloration near the bottom. The floor has a checkerboard pattern of tan and white tiles. In the center of the room is a simple metal bed frame with a grid base and no mattress. On top of the bed frame sits a small metal box. Attached to the frame are metal shackles, suggesting restraints were used. The room has a barred window on the right side, allowing some daylight to enter, casting shadows on the floor. The overall atmosphere feels stark, somber, and austere.

Q&A with Dr Beth Williamson: A Cultural Biography of William Johnstone

A sepia-toned 18th-century printed broadside titled “TRANSPORTED FOR SEDITION.” The design features ornate borders and three oval engravings of men in period clothing holding papers. Text around the portraits names individuals convicted of sedition and sentenced to transportation (penal exile), including references to courts and dates in the early 1800s. The overall style is decorative and historical, resembling a political or legal proclamation from Britain.
