James Taylor has established himself as one of the leading historians of corporate capitalism in nineteenth-century Britain, and his new monograph further augments his reputation. As with Taylor's previous work, this book is very readable because the author uses engaging and sometimes humorous vignettes to trace the evolution of the criminalization of company fraud. John D. Turner, Economic History Review Boardroom Scandal is both a thought-provoking and engaging book, a substantial work of historical recovery which will push future studies of both the nineteenth-century economy and criminal justice history in new directions. Rosalind Crone, History This book by James Taylor is an excellent example of an emerging approach to the study of the past that could be called forensic history. Ranald Michie, English Historical Review Taylor sets corporate fraud in a broader perspective, which encompasses the evolution of the law, political economy, and contemporary perceptions of who was right and who was wrong. He deserves to be congratulated for this excellent piece of scholarship. David Higgins, Enterprise & Society
