Hard Times :: Dickens Hard Times Essays

Hard Times   In this paper I would like to discuss the possibly affects that this book might have had on the world, the quantify around Charles heller, and the fact that Charles hellion paid close worry to the world around him.   Charles Dickens, born Charles John Huffman Dickens, was born on Feb. 7 1812 in Portsmouth where his father was a clerk at the Naval sacrifice Office. Four years later his family locomote to Chatham and then later moved to London. In 1824 Charles Dickens father went to Debtors Prison. In 1833 Charles Dickens published his first gear story A Dinner at Poplar Walk. In 1838 one of Dickens most popular stories, Oliver Twist, was published in deuce-ace volumes. In 1851 Charles Dickens father passed away. Next in 1861, another Dickens classic was published, Great Expectations. On June 9 Charles Dickens dies, at the bestride of fifty-eight. And was buried in Westminster Abbey.   This is the Penguin Classics version of Hard Times by Charles Di ckens that has be en edited by Kate Flint, who also added the introduction. I was inefficient to find any information round the editor, other than her name. I take that Charles Dickens books, this one included, have had a great affect on the world. Not only in the fact that few of the books that he has compose are considered to be classic or in the fact that some of these books are required reading in many high schools by dint of out the U.S.. But also in the fact that I c any up some of his books had an influence in the way the some of the laws in his time where formulated.   The way that Charles Dickens go about doing this is by writing about the social bothers within the government or just problems with the way that affaire are being done in general. One example that I have found was in chapter 11, page 77, and footnote number 8. The take out says I ha coom to ask yo, sir, how I am to be ridded o this woman. When you look at the footnote it says that this line in t he book is speaking of a problem that was quite common during Charles Dickens time period. The problem that this line speaks of is that it was all but impossible for a person who was of lower class to draw and quarter a divorce.
