Project Summary

I completed my PhD research in 2020. The title of my doctoral thesis was 'English Bankrupts 1732-1831: A Social Account'. The account seeks to uncover the forgotten experience of some of the many thousands of people who became bankrupts in eighteenth-century England. Sources drawn on include: legal records, personal correspondence, newspapers, advice literature, novels and plays.
