| | Hard Times by Charles Dickens: A searchable online version at The Literature Network |
 | | From the time of the first fairy tales men had always believed ideally in equality; they had always thought that something ought to be done, if anything could be done, to redress the balance between Cinderella and the ugly sisters. | | | But there are rather particular reasons why the value of the book called Hard Times should be referred back to great historic and theoretic matters with which it may appear superficially to have little or nothing to do. | | | But this tale of Hard Times is in some way harsher than all these. |

| | Charles Dickens's Hard Times for These Times as an Industrial Novel |
| | At 117,400 words, Hard Times is shorter than either A Tale of Two Cities (146,500 words) or Great Expectations (189,000 words), both serialized in Dickens's second weekly periodical, All The Year Round (1859 and 1861 respectively). | | | The book was dedicated to the historian and essayist Thomas Carlyle, in the belief that he would sympathise with the feelings expressed therein. | | | Dickens' growing dissatisfaction as a husband is scarcely hinted at in the letters of 1853- 54, and its existence can only be reconstructed in the light of later events. |

| | Notes on Hard Times |
| | Dickens wrote Hard Times as a scathing report on how capitalism failed the working man. Gradgrind represents all that Dickens felt was evil- he is a utilitarian and a laissez-faire economist. | | | Bounderby convinces Louisa to marry him, and she does so because her brother encourages her to do so and because she can think of no better reason. |

| | Amazon.com: Hard Times: For These Times (Signet Classics (Paperback)): Books: Charles Dickens |
| | I had read some of Dickens's melodramas like A Tale of Two Cities and Oliver Twist and enjoyed them, but everything I heard about Hard Times said this was nothing like those. | | | In this book, although it speaks mostly from the oppressed working class and lower middle class, characters from all walks of society mingle. | | | It is certainly nothing compared to works of a similar length, such as "Tale of Two Cities" or "Great Expectations." But even Dicken's lesser works are gems, although a bit less refined. |

| | Hard Times - Charles Dickens - Microsoft Reader eBook |
| | The 'terrible mistake' was the contemporary utilitarian philosophy, expounded in Hard Times as the Philosophy of Fact by the hard-headed disciplinarian Thomas Gradgrind. | | | Sleary's circus represents Dickens's most considered defence of the necessity of entertainment, and infuses the novel with the good humour which has ensured its appeal to generations of readers. | | | But the novel, Dickens's shortest, is more than a polemical tract for the times; the tragic story of Louisa Gradgrind and her father is one of Dickens's triumphs. |

| | For someone in Bounderby’s position to exaggerate their tale over time seems understandable, though no less an untruth. | | | Dickens uses Bounderby’s propensity to exaggerate his own rise to power from humble origins as an indication of less than virtuous motives. | | | Sleary might arguably be considered the more virtuous businessman. |

| | I have included the first two chapters of the novel and a bit of the third, since these are the only parts of the book directly related to the schoolroom. | | | In his 1854 novel, "Hard Times," Dickens puts the poverty-ridden factory towns of 19th century England on trial. | | | In the world depicted in the novel, workers are treated as little more than interchangable parts in the factory's machinery, given just enough wages to keep them alive and just enough rest to make it possible for them to stand in front of their machines the next day. |

Of all the films Bronson has made, "Hard Times" is by far the best, and probably the only truly "serious" film. | | | Framed in the gritty reality of the Great Depression, with great background music --1930's string band--Bronson found the role of a lifetime. | | | Trivia: Chick Gandil, the gambler in the film, was also the name of one of the Black Sox players who conspired with gambler Arnold Rothstein to fix the 1919 World Series. |
