Trust and Distrust offers the first overview of Britain s history of corruption in office in the pre-modern era, 1600-1850. Both corruption and office were concepts that were in evolution during the period 1600-1850 and underwent very significant but protracted change which this study charts and seeks to explain. The book makes innovative use of the concept of trust, which helped to shape office in ways that underlined principles of selflessness, disinterestedness, integrity, and accountability in officials. Mark Knights paints a picture of the interaction of the domestic and imperial stories of corruption in office, showing how these stories were intertwined and related. Linking corruption in office to the domestic and imperial state, the book draws on extensive interdisciplinary sources relating to the East India Company as well as other colonial officials in the Atlantic World and elsewhere in Britain s emerging empire.

Trust and Distrust offers the first overview of Britain's history of corruption in office in the pre-modern era, 1600-1850.
