A fully-realized epic fantasy

Eric A. Radulski from Albany, NY - 26 Jan 2005

I remember hearing about this audio drama several years ago during the heyday of MP3.com. I was always curious, but it wasn't until recently that I finally sat down to listen to it. I'm glad I did. LSP has a good fantasy story on its hands here. The characters are interesting, the plot has some nice twists, and the writing is very good.

"A bitter indictment of industrialization, with its dehumanizing effects on workers and communities in mid-19th-century England."
--Merriam-Webster Encyclopedia of Literature

"The narrator's British accent goes well with Dickens's overly dramatic and lush prose."
--AudioFile

Originally written for Dickens's weekly magazine, Household Words, this short novel follows the fate of Sissy Jupe, a warm-hearted circus child, and the family that adopts her. Deserted by her ailing father, Sissy is taken into the cold household of the Gradgrind family, which operates a school. The "eminently practical" Thomas Gradgrind believes only in facts and figures and has raised his children accordingly, thoroughly suppressing the imaginative sides of their nature. They grow up in ignorance of love and affection, of beauty and culture, or of empathy for others, and the consequences are devastating. Only after numerous crises does Thomas realize that his principles have corrupted their lives.

Dickens's satirical expos of the Industrial Revolution condemns the utilitarianism that exploited the bodies, minds, and souls of the vulnerable labor class.
