Description
Published in 1854, Hard Times is Charles Dickens's tenth novel, offering a scathing appraisal of English society and the social and economic pressures of his time.
Notably, this novel stands out from Dickens's other works due to its concise length and unusual format. Unlike most of his novels, it lacks a preface and original illustrations, and is set in the fictional industrial town of Coketown, rather than London.
Written during a period when sales of his weekly periodical were low, Hard Times was published in instalments with the aim of boosting circulation. The result was a novel that proved to be both commercially successful and critically acclaimed, featuring sharp passages and illustrious metaphors throughout.
