NOW, what I want is, Facts. One of Dickenss most famous opening lines sets the scene for this powerful novel which questions the harsh, rational attitudes predominating in a world of fierce industrial growth.

Dickens vividly presents industrial Coketown a quintessential northern English mill town in the 19th century and the overbearing figure of Mr Thomas Gradgrind with his utilitarianist philosophy; and contrasts it with the right of every person to enjoy life regardless of social class.
