This is a 4 page paper discussing Dickens’ “Hard Times” as a satiric novel. British author Charles Dickens (1812-1870) wrote his satiric novel “Hard Times” in 1854 in serial form from April 1 to August 12 in the magazine “Household Words”. During the publication of the series, the magazine’s popularity and circulation doubled thus providing a forum through which Dickens could portray the horrid conditions of the life in factory towns in England and Europe. The satirical elements and characters throughout the novel highlight the contrasts within England during the industrial revolution as while the rich and educated within the country portrayed and believed that England (and Europe) was advanced in regards to its scientific and industrial revolution in addition to the superiority of the education of its people and its “rational” thought, most of the countrymen actually lived in squalor, were poorly treated and more so, were poorly educated (Alexander, 2003). Dickens successfully manages to combine, contrast and create an interplay of tension between the satiric characters and stories of Gradgrind and Bounderby with those who receive the sympathy of the readers, necessary for the characterization and moral development expected within a novel, in the characters and stories of Sissy Jupe and Stephen Blackpool.
