In Hard Times—Dickens’ most openly political novel—listeners discover the terrible human consequences of a ruthlessly materialistic philosophy in the lives of Thomas Gradgrind’s family, who are brought up to believe that only “Facts! Facts! Facts!” have any meaning.

Set in Coketown, a typical Lancashire mill town, the novel graphically exposes the truth about Victorian “progress.”
