Book Description
Hard Times is Dickens' powerful and withering portrait of a Lancashire mill town in the 1840s. In the persons of Gangrind and Bounderby he 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 chimneys, enslaved to machines and reduced to numbers.
