Abstract:
Abstract: While critics have often read Hard Times as Dickens’s defense of imagination against utilitarianism, industrialism, and the fact-driven education of his time, the source of Dickens’s defensive theory and poetics has remained comparatively obscure. This article will argue that Dickens, in his attempt to defend imaginative literature, invokes Sir Philip Sidney’s sixteenth-century Defence of Poetry . More specifically, Dickens borrows from Sidney the trope of “Horsemanship” as a means to discuss the value of “Poetry.” Throughout the novel, Dickens turns to the image of the horse and the

Abstract:
This research will be examined De Saussure`s syntagmatic-paradigmatic relations On Charles Dickens` Hard Times. Dickens in this novel uses a character and episodes that stand in paradigmatic relation to him and his surrounded society. A character turns to be a carrier of his views and philosophyand conveys many autobiographical events from his actual life. Besides, he depicts personal attitudes to be presented as events in the novel. Thus, the novel shows a literary substitution of a character as well as events with Dickens` real life. This seems a fertile arena to study a paradigmatic relatio

Abstract:
This paper focuses on the Utilitarian Philosophy in education that appeared in Charles Dickens' "Hard Times" during the industrial revolution. This paper aims to show the outcome of the Utilitarian Education Style taught by Mr. Gradgrind in his model school and to prove how this philosophy ends up with fail. Charles Dickens is trying to show that one of the dark sides of that the industrial revolution is more towards the logic of mind than the logic of heart, so in this case the greed of the people to wealth at that time is very clear. Charles Dickens assent a subject matter of utilitarianism,

Abstract:
This study explores how Charles Dickens presents a panoramic picture of social and moral crimes, criminals, victims and the causes as well as consequences of criminality in his novel Hard Times (1854). By employing Collins' Dickens and Crime (1964), the article provides a reading of Dickens' Hard Times as a crime novel, arguing that this novel is not only a social commentary on England in the Victorian era for the purpose of achieving social reform at the time. It is also a crime novel, portraying different types of crimes with various motives and criminals from different backgrounds and class

Abstract: In this article, I analyze the progression of Louisa Gradgrind's imaginative and emotional interior life in Charles Dickens's Hard Times . I integrate Gaston Bachelard's theory of the intrinsic relationship between imagination and architectural spaces in The Poetics of Space (1958) with Cassandra Falke's theoretical approach to learning empathy through reading literature in The Phenomenology of Love and Reading (2016) in order to create a critical framework. This framework then illustrates Dickens's use of domestic spaces to guide his readers experientially through Louisa's interior

Abstract:
This study reads Charles Dickens's Oliver Twist, David Copperfield, Hard Times, and Great Expectations as "condition of England novels" by applying realism and naturalism theories, which focus on "parole". The term referred to by Ferdinand de Saussure in language acquisition to mean "performance". This paper addresses how Charles Dickens uses the term "parole" to refer to children's performance under social influences. Through his works, Dickens shows that the environment plays an elementary role in building children's characters as they grasp knowledge from their surroundings. They interact w

Abstract:
Abstract Although most often read for its fictional—and, for many reviewers and critics, vaguely unsatisfying—response to the condition of England question, Hard Times also analyzes the historical peculiarities of Victorian middle-class status with sufficient sophistication to test the limits of later sociological and cultural theory from Max Weber and Pierre Bourdieu. Attentive to several of the warrants that might legitimize the exercise of domination in Victorian society and reliant upon the use of type concepts at the level of character, Dickens identifies each possible warrant for public
