Discuss some of the social changes in 19th century britain which thomas hardy and charles dickens wrote about
Answers
(i) The breaking up of rural communities because of industrialization. Due to industrialization, peasants who toiled with their lands were disappearing as large or big farmers enclosed lands, bought machines and employed labourers to produce for the market.
(ii) In his novel ‘Mayor of Casterbridge’, Hardy mourns the loss of the more personalized world which is being replaced by a more efficiently managed urban culture.
Social Changes Highlighted by Charles Dickens
(i) Charles Dickens wrote mainly about the emergence of the industrial age and it’s effects on society and the common people.
(ii) Growth of factories and expanded cities led to the growth of business and economy and increased the profits of capitalists.
(iii) At the same time workers faced immense problems. Use of machines resulted in unemployment of ordinary labour; they became homeless, creating a problem of housing. Pursuit of profit became the goal of factory owners while the workers were undervalued and almost lost their identity Human beings were reduced to being mere instruments of production.

Charles dickens
in the nineteenth century Europe entered the industrial age
factories came up,businesses grew and the economy developed.
however there were many problems too.cities expanded irregularly.the cities were overcrowded with overworked and underpaid workers.the unemployed roamed through the streets for jobs and the homeless took shelter in the streets.
the growth of the industry led to he formation of society which celebrated profit but undervalued the lives of the workers
deeply critical of these developments dickens wrote about the terrible effects of industrialisation
he expressed his critical behavior towards industrialization through his novels hard times and Oliver twist.
Thomas hardy
nineteenth century writer Thomas hardy wrote about the the traditional rural communities in Europe that were fast disappearing
this was actually a time when large farmers fenced off land, bought machines and employed labourers to produce for the market.
the old culture of independent farmers were dying out.we get a sense of this from his novel mayor of casterbidge.
hardy mourns the loss of more personalised world even though he is aware of its problems and the advantages of the new world
hope it helps
