Walker and Maurice Greiffenhagen, and an introduction by Dingle Foot?Hard Times? was originally printed as a serial in Nos. 210-29 of ?Household Words? from April to August 1854 and was first issued in book form (as a single volume) in the same year.From the introduction:?The real explanation (as I believe) why ?Hard Times? differs so widely from most of Dickens?s other books is simply that he was working in an unfamiliar milieu.  We are told that in order to get some local colour for his story he went to Preston during a strike and was thoroughly bored and depressed.  The best thing in ?Hard Times? are the descriptions of Coketown itself.  They convey with masterly realism the repulsive aspect of a Lancashire manufacturing town during the 1850s.  But there the realism ends.  Dickens had no time to get to know the Lancashire people.???No one would describe ?Hard Times? as his masterpiece.  But it contains an indelible picture of the England of the ?dark, satanic mills?.?Non-UK buyers please note this book will be posted through eBay's Global Shipping Programme and will, therefore, unable to be combined with other purchases.
