Hard Times

---

‘It was a town of machinery and tall chimney… inhabited by people equally like one another, who all went in and out at the same hours… to do the same work, and to whom everyday was the same as yesterday and tomorrow…’

Charles Dickens’s Hard Times is a satirical portrayal of the deleterious effect of the Industrial Revolution and Capitalism.

Following the lives of its unforgettable characters – master of fact, Thomas Gradgrind, heartless and peverse Bounderby, tragic Louisa, fanciful Sissy, honourable Stephen, selfish Tom, and the pesky Mrs. Sparsit – the narrative bemoans the extermination of imagination, curiosity, and enjoyment, the dehumanisation and suffering of workers, and the spread of rampant greed and dishonesty. Place in juxtaposition to this portrayal of the times is the entertaining Sleary’s Circus Troupe, the only glimmer of a yearning for joie de vivre.
