This is the sixth volume to be published in "The Dickens
Companions" series. Information is arranged in the form of notes
presented for convenient use with any edition of "Hard Times".
Short notes supply historical data on a variety of topics. Longer,
discursive notes assemble facts and contextual information which
students need in order to understand issues central to the novel.
Thus, for example, details about food, costume and transport appear
alongside notes about the political and social concerns of the day.
To help readers find annotated material from the novel's text, "The
Companion" provides in italics the opening phrase of the paragraph
to which the annotation refers, followed in bold by the words or
passage to be annotated and then the explanatory note. Readers of
the novel in search of more information about a note or phrase have
only to find the appropriate chapter in "The Companion", looking
for the italicized phrase that identifies the paragraph and then
the bold entry. This format makes accessible to any reader
allusions that may seem otherwise dense or puzzling, as well as
providing dependable factual information about the novel's
historical and cultural background, especially helpful to students.
Each book is the result of extensive research, making the series
useful to the community of scholars interested both in Dickens and
in all aspects of Victorian Britain.
