Description
Red brick, machinery, and smoke-darkened chimneys. Reason, facts, statistics. This is the world of Coketown, the depressed mill town that is the setting for hard Times. The highest priority for Thomas Gradgrind, head of the Gradgrind model day school, is his version of eduction-- feeding the mind while starving the soul and spirit. Inflexible, he places conformity above curiosity and sense over sentiment-- only to find himself betrayed by the very standards that govern his own unhappy life. Full of suspense, humor, and tenderness, Hard Times is a brilliant defense of art in an age of mechanism and a blistering portrait of Victorian England as it struggles with the economic turmoil brought on by the Industrial Revolution.
