Synopsis
The daughter of a circus performer, abandoned by her father, is adopted by the coldhearted Thomas Gradgrind, whose own children have been reared in a bleak and loveless household and whose lives threaten to be ruined accordingly. A parallel story involves an honest millworker town between his drunken wife and a sympathetic fellow worker at the mill; eventually, he is executed for a crime committed by Gradgrind. HARD TIMES is one of Dickens's typical novels, in which natural, loving, and warmhearted characters like the circus folk are contrasted with those who are pragmatic and ruthless, like Gradgrind.

Industry Reviews
"Perhaps only modern readers equipped with hindsight can appreciate how perceptive Dickens was, both in the themes he chose and in what he said about them....HARD TIMES is no period piece. Its themes vex us still. Rather than grousing about the book's structural and other novelistic shortcomings, a modern reader can be grateful that in this case Dickens the tale-spinner yielded priority of place to Dickens the seer."
New York Review of Books - Jane Jacobs (07/19/2001)
