If you have a question about this talk, please contact Amy Erickson .

This paper examines cases involving bankruptcy and debt recovery brought before the court of Chancery — a court of equity which dealt with civil disputes — in London and New York. In doing so, the paper explores the numerous meanings attached to personal failure in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, demonstrating the negative aspects of early modern trade networks and the active role of the court when such networks broke down.
