Hard Times is the most "Victorian" novel among the others by great Charles Dickens.
Hard Time.
Friendship and betrayal, love and hate, opposition of the children of the fortune and forgotten men are just some plot lines of the novel.
It is the novel where under an external sentimentality there is rough furiousness of the realist writer, to whom imperfection of a human nature and darkness of a human soul are not the news, but still provoke rejection.
