FROM THE JACKET WRITE - UP:

"Set in Coketown, a fictional town based on the author's observations of Preston, Hard Times is Dicken's classic work about industrial England. G. K. Chesterton wrote of this novel, 'Twenty times we have taken Dickens's hand and it has sometimes been hot with revelry and sometimes weak with weariness; but this time we start a little, for .... we realise we have touched his gauntlet of steel.' Others have seen a more complete vision of humanity in the portrayal of the generous hearts of Sleary the circus owner, and Cissy Jupe - contrasted with the selfishness and harshness of Thomas Gradgrind and other characters who suppress love and imagination."
