This seminal Victorian novel offers a biting critique of the utilitarian philosophy and the dehumanizing effects of the Industrial Revolution in Coketown. Dickens masterfully contrasts the rigid, fact-based education system with the imaginative spirit, capturing the stark social stratification of 19th-century England.
