"A bitter indictment of industrialization, with its
dehumanizing effects on workers and communities in
mid-19th-century England."
--Merriam-Webster Encyclopedia of Literature
"The narrator's British accent goes well with Dickens's
overly dramatic and lush prose."
--AudioFile
Originally written for Dickens's weekly magazine,
Household Words, this short novel follows the fate
of Sissy Jupe, a warm-hearted circus child, and the family
that adopts her. Deserted by her ailing father, Sissy is
taken into the cold household of the Gradgrind family,
which operates a school. The "eminently practical" Thomas
Gradgrind believes only in facts and figures and has raised
his children accordingly, thoroughly suppressing the
imaginative sides of their nature. They grow up in
ignorance of love and affection, of beauty and culture, or
of empathy for others, and the consequences are
devastating. Only after numerous crises does Thomas realize
that his principles have corrupted their lives.
Dickens's satirical expos of the Industrial Revolution
condemns the utilitarianism that exploited the bodies,
minds, and souls of the vulnerable labor class.
