Hard Times
By Charles Dickens
$7.00
Hard Times, which has never achieved the popularity and seldom the recognition of Dickens’s other novels, is his withering portrait of a Lancashire mill-town in the 1840s.
In the persons of Gradgrind and Bounderby he powerfully stigmatised the prevalent philosophy of Utilitarianism which, whether in school or factory, allowed human beings to be caged in a dreary scenery of brick terraces and foul chimneys, to be enslaved to machines, and reduced to numbers.
