Dickens’s scathing portrait of Victorian industrial society.
Coketown,
the depressed mill town that is the setting for one of Charles
Dickens’s most powerful and unforgettable novels, is all brick,
machinery, and smoke-darkened chimneys. Its emblematic citizen, the
schoolmaster Thomas Gradgrind, lives to impose his version of education:
facts and statistics that feed the mind while starving the soul and
spirit. Inflexible and unyielding, he places conformity above curiosity
and logic over sentiment, only to see his philosophy warp and destroy
the lives of his own family.
Filled with memorable characters and scenes, Hard Times is a daring novel of ideas—and, ultimately, a celebration of love, hope, and imagination.
With an Introduction by Frederick Busch
and an Afterword by Jane Smiley
