In this 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 traces the decline in the level of insolvency towards the end of the century. His scholarly and detailed analysis demonstrates the validity of the Victorians' notion that financial failure was a significant problem for English society, and shows that random factors may have played as great a role as cyclical fluctuations in bankruptcy levels.
