Description
Published in 1854, Hard Times is Charles Dickens's tenth novel, offering a unique perspective on English society during the Victorian era.
Set in the fictional industrial town of Coketown, this novel explores the social and economic pressures of the time, featuring two ill-fated marriages at its core. With its distinctive style and concise structure, Hard Times is notable for being one of Dickens's shortest novels, as well as its lack of preface and original illustrations.
Written in response to low sales of his weekly periodical, Household Words, the novel was published in instalments, which proved successful in boosting circulation. This edition presents a compact and thought-provoking exploration of family life and social issues during a pivotal moment in British history.
