Synopsis:
'In the persons of Gradgrind and Bounderby, Dickens stigmatized 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.
Hard Times is Dickens's shortest novel, and arguably his greatest triumph.'
Happy Reading!
