About the book

Charles Dickens's Hard Times is set in the fictional industrial town of Coketown and follows several characters whose lives have been shaped by a philosophy that values facts, efficiency and economic usefulness above imagination and emotion. At the centre is Thomas Gradgrind, who raises his children according to these rigid principles, only to discover the damaging consequences of denying them emotional freedom. Through the Gradgrind family, factory worker Stephen Blackpool and businessman Josiah Bounderby, Dickens criticises industrial exploitation, social inequality and an educational system that neglects compassion and creativity.
