Published in 1854, Hard Times is Charles Dickens’s unflinching critique of the industrial age and the dehumanizing effects of utilitarian philosophy on both individuals and society. Set in the fictional town of Coketown, which mirrors the grimy, factory-driven landscapes of Victorian England, the novel exposes the consequences of prioritizing cold, mechanical efficiency over the warmth of human compassion, imagination, and creativity
