About the Book
Hard Times: For These Times is the tenth novel by Charles Dickens, first published in 1854. A sharp critique of the industrial revolution and Victorian society, this novel satirizes the social and economic conditions of the era, emphasizing the dehumanizing aspects of industrialization and the neglect of emotional and intellectual values in pursuit of material progress.
Set in the fictional industrial town of Coketown, the novel follows the lives of several characters, focusing on the rigid and utilitarian educational system that discourages creativity, imagination, and individuality. Through the struggles of characters like Thomas Gradgrind and Louisa, Dickens examines themes of class, social mobility, and the moral consequences of living in a society driven by facts and figures.
Hard Times stands out for its bleak portrayal of industrial society and its critique of utilitarianism, making it one of Dickens's more socially aware and sharply critical works.
