Hard Times, Hardback Book

Hard Times Hardback

Part of the Flame Tree Collectable Classics series

Hardback

Description

Little treasures, the FLAME TREE COLLECTABLE CLASSICS are chosen to create a delightful and timeless home library.

Each stunning, gift edition features deluxe cover treatments, ribbon markers, luxury endpapers and gilded edges.

The unabridged text is accompanied by a Glossary of Victorian and Literary terms produced for the modern reader.

Hard Times was published in 1854 and is set in Northern England in Coketown, a polluted and suffering place with smoke-filled factories and soulless workers who have been downtrodden by the cruel and heartless Thomas Gradgrind and Josiah Bounderby.

The novel was published to mixed criticism, with many feeling at the time that it was too distressing.

However, many modern critics have praised the book, calling it a gripping and revealing exploration of Victorian society.
