First edition in book form of Dickensâ attack on the living conditions of Englandâs mid-19th century industrial cities. Octavo, bound in full calf by Sangorski & Sutcliffe with gilt titles and tooling to the spine in six compartments within raised gilt bands, top edge marbled, marbled endpapers. In near fine condition. Original cloth covers bound in at rear, bookplate to the front pastedown. Housed in a custom marbled slipcase. Initially published serially in Household Words between April and August of 1854, Hard Times was published in book form almost immediately following the final serial in 1854. Viewed as a departure from Dickens' previous tales, the work presents what was to become an increasingly somber picture of contemporary society in Dickensâ works. Critics such as George Bernard Shaw and Thomas Macaulay focused on Dickens' treatment of trade unions and his postâ"Industrial Revolution pessimism in regards to the divide between capitalist mill owners and undervalued workers during the Victorian era. F. R. Leavis, a great admirer of the book, included it â" but not as a whole â" in his Great Tradition of English novels.

Octavo, original publisher's first cloth binding, light yellow endpapers. Smith I:11. In very good condition. A nice example, uncommon in the original binding. Hard Times focuses on the inadequacy of a lifestyle that emphasizes only the human intellect at the expense of the imagination and âthe heart.â Dickens also attacked the conditions of life in Englandâs industrial cities, which produced the wealth that made his country the foremost industrial power in the mid-19th centuryâ" but at a great cost to human happiness. Hard Times was viewed as a departure from the authorâs previous tales, presenting what was to become an increasingly somber picture of contemporary society in Dickensâ works. Eckel, 131. Gimbel A136.

First edition in book form, handsomely bound by Francis Bedford (1799-1883), who was "considered the leading English bookbinder of his time, surpassed only by the best French binders" (ODNB). Hard Times was the shortest, but also arguably the most political, of Dickens's novels, as well as being the only novel set entirely outside of London. It was originally issued in 20 weekly parts from April to August 1854. Smith, I, 11. Octavo (185 x 120 mm). Finely bound in contemporary tan calf, spine with raised bands, decorated in gilt with red morocco onlays, green morocco title label, covers bordered with triple gilt fillet, board edges and turn-ins gilt, marbled endpapers, edges gilt.

Both the first and second US editions of Hard Times, the shortest, but also arguably the most political, of Dickens's novels, as well as being the only novel set entirely outside of London. The novel was first published in Britain in Household Words from April to August 1854, and in book form on 7 August 1854. The novel was first published in the US by T. L. McElrath, who paid $1,500 for the advance sheets of the final parts of the UK edition, on 8 August 1854. This copy is in Smith's binding variant B, with the front wrapper also naming the published Dewitt & Davenport. The second US edition was published by Harper & Brothers a single day later, on 9 August 1854. Harper was unwilling to pay for advance sheets, and so used the T. L. McElrath edition to quickly typeset their edition and publish it the following day. The Harper edition was published at half the price, and was designed to outcompete the former edition. Smith notes a contemporary newspaper reporting that this "entirely stopped the sale of McElrath's book, robbed him of the profits of his enterprise, and literally crushed the young rival out of existence" (cited in Smith, p. 328). Smith, American Editions, pp. 323-8. 2 copies, octavo. Original brown wrappers printed in black. Housed together in custom green quarter morocco box. Recent bookplate of collector Peter Russell mounted to inside cover of box.
