Hard Times by Charles Dickens

Hard Times by Charles Dickens

The Northern mill-town of Coketown is dominated by the figure of Mr Thomas Gradgrind, school headmaster and model of Utilitarian success. Feeding both his pupils and family with facts, he bans fancy and wonder from any young minds.

Charles Dickens (1812-70) was a political reporter and journalist before establishing his reputation as a novelist with PICKWICK PAPERS (1836-7). His novels captured and held the public imagination over a period of more than thirty years.

Kate Flint is Professor of English at Rutgers University. Her published work includes The Victorians and the Visual Imagination (2000).
