Thoughts and Notes for an Essay Discussing Dicken's portrait of Industrial Society in his novel "Hard Times" Edition used. Dickens, Charles. Hard Times, ed. Kate Flint, London: Penguin Books, 1995. (It's a good starting point for writing an essay) - Dickens 'is unmistakably possessed by a comprehensive vision, one in which the inhumanities of Victorian civilisation are seen as fostered and sanctioned by a hard philosophy, the aggressive formulation of an inhuman society' (F.

…showed last 75 words of 1436 total…you get the impression that Dicken's believes industrialism and bourgeoisie are filled with nothing but hot air. Okay that is all I am going to write, it has taken me about half an hour. It is a good start for writing an essay on "Hard Times" by Charles Dicken's but of course it would be even better if you took what I have written here and then added your own thoughts. That would be great.
