Thomas Gradgrind is a leading citizen of Coketown, an industrial city in the north of England. He believes that life should only centre around practical matters and that the use of the imagination is a time-wasting distraction from the serious world of factual reality.
His efforts to bring up his children according to these principles, however, meet with disaster .
