  This is the first legal and financial history of bankruptcy in nineteenth-century England. V. Markham Lester offers a full statistical analysis and detailed account of bankruptcy, imprisonment for debt, and company winding-up, and is able to demonstrate the validity of the Victorians' notion that financial failure was a significant problem for English society.
