Charles Dickens 
Hard Times 
Classic Victorian Fiction

支持
A novel of social and moral themes,
Hard Times is the archetypal Dickens novel, filled with family difficulties, estrangement, rotten values and unhappiness. Published in 1854, it is set in the imaginary Coketown, an industrial city inspired by Preston, and tells the story of the family of Thomas Gradgrind, a man obsessed with misguided ‘Utilitarian’ values that make him trust facts, statistics and practicality over emotion. Based on James Mill (the Utilitarian leader), Gradgrind raises his own children, Louisa and Tom, in line with these same views, forcing an artless existence on them. Contemporary critics such as Macaulay savaged the book for its supposed ‘sullen socialism’ but it has become well regarded since earning the favour of George Bernard Shaw.
