Resum
[eng] This text focuses on the analysis of the Industrial Revolution through Charles Dickens’ novels Oliver Twist (1838) and Hard Times (1854). By analysing the historical developments and accomplishments during the course of the 18th and 19th centuries, it can be seen how both novels depict with irony and satire the way in which society used to live and think. Dickens used his own life experiences to show how workers were exploited until death without any compassion and how this great revolution mainly favoured the middle and upper classes in Britain. Industrialization made people move from the rural areas to the cities in search of new opportunities. However, the circumstances that were developed in the new location caused a set of conditions that always disfavoured the poor. As a consequence, laws and unions began to arise during this period. All in all, Dickens’ life and novels intertwine and are presented as a social exploration of the Victorian period.
