Trama
This is Dickens' portrait of a Lancashire mill town in the 1840s.
In the person of Gradgrind and Bounderby he stigmatized the prevalent philosophy of Utilitarianism which, whether in school or factory, allowed human beings to be caged in a dreary scenery of brick terraces and foul chimneys, to be enslaved to machines and reduced to numbers.
